Day in Lima

Chris and I got up a little late. I was pretty tired since I had to take an overnight bus to Chicago the night before leaving for my 8:30 flight out of Chicago.

We decided that we would head up to the north coast of Peru so after eating some lunch, we went to the bus station to book a ticket for Trujillo, the largest city on the coast.


Notice anything funny...look at how many milileters each is :)

We bummed around Lima for most of the day until it was time to take the bus (10pm overnight bus).

The bus we took (Cruz del Sur) was incredibly nice. Far nicer than anything that I've ever taken in the U.S. or Europe. Chris said that most buses in Peru are overnight buses since it's a pretty big country and if you're on a bus for a while you're going to be sleeping anyway.

The seats were semi-camas (semi-beds) and reclined most of the way.
