We spent all day in Lima.
We decided to take a bus to the old town where we booked our hostel.
Unfortunately, the buses were fully packed and with our equipment it would be hard to get in. I know that local people managed but we were afraid so we took a taxi.
You need to be patient when it comes to taxi. The prices were different and usually much higher than they should be at first. We were in a hurry to meet with our friend so our price was 23 Soles. We were told it should be between 15 and 20.
We left our baggage in our hostel and took another taxi to Miraflores. It was good fun for me negotiating with taxi drivers. The highest price was 25 Soles and we paid 8 Soles. A good price is 10 Soles.
With our friend we walked and spent good time in this modern area. One could paraglide there, 10 min. 150 Soles.
Around 3pm we went by bus (1 Sole each) to the old town where we walked and enjoyed our last day.
Apart of what many people said about Lima I felt really safe there. The old town is a historical and very nice place. Every day at midday before the palace there is a guard change. Near the post office you can buy the old bank notes from Peru and souvenirs. Negotiating prices is something what you can practice here.
It was our last day and the end of this amazing holidays.
