January 12th Lima Peru



I landed last night in Lima about midnight. There were a number of flights landing at the same time, so getting through customs took awhile. Finally about 1 am, I cleared customs and headed for currency exchange and the taxi stand. I managed to do quite a bit better than the $45 cab ride i was quoted in the airport. I found a driver out front willing to take me for $60 soles. Or $20.

I arrived at the Loki Hostel and was pleased that they were in fact open 24 hours and the bar was still open. So i checked into my room, which has a great view of McDonalds , grabbed a beer on the rooftop bar, and turned on my gps transmitter to give send the o.k. signal to the family.
