Day 60 - Huaraz to Lima

December 1, 2008 Motorcycle trip

Wow - I can’t believe it’s day 60!
Wierd day today. Was still not 100% this morning. The altitude, cold, fog, and potholes on the road did not help. Down from the mountains we got more desert until Lima… Got pulled over by some cops who caught us speeding :(
Lima is not pretty - well at least from the little I’ve seen - not realy fair but so far Peru is my lest favorite country so far. So barren. Very poor. Not too pretty.
Hoping Nazca and Machu Pichu will be worth it and change my opinion of the country.

Ok - ok - not a fair review of Lima - what we saw were the outskirts of town. After settling down at the hotel Libertador we went to have dinner at Antica Pizzaria - a very nice Italian place where you choose the pasta and then a sauce out of several choices. The neighborhood was quite nice as well.

In any case - tomorrow we should drive through the historic center of town to get a better glimpse of the nicer parts of Lima.

And today’s video is almost not worth posting… the battery was low and I didn’t notice it throughout the day so I only got the first few seconds of each comment I’ve made… I decided to post just to get some of the scenery:
