2013 Nov. Peru. Lima.
Flew in to Lima from Singapore via Amsterdam. The most direct flight was operated by KLM with transit in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, one of the nicer airports in Europe. Other choices involved at least 2 transits and would be painful to travel. We arrived and stayed in Miraflores in Lima.
Dinner was at La Lucha upon arrival, an extremely popular Peruvian fast food joint with great vibes. Casual and fast service for some great sandwiches and juices. It is open nearly all day adding to its street food like charm. I don’t speak Spanish but can feel that the staff were nice and friendly. Definite worth a visit while in Lima.
Lima on a weekend morning is full of people and activities. Very vibrant streetlife.
Larcomar is a big shopping and dining complex in Miraflores, with good views overlooking the sea.
City tour in the afternoon. Visited the old part of Lima with many historical buildings.
Wandered around in the evening and decided on this Alfresco Restaurant for dinner. Peruvian cuisine in general is very good, and easily liked by asian or western diets, very tasty and well balanced flavours with nothing too exotic or strange. Of cos, the popular Peruvian cocktail Pisco Sour made everything on the table taste even better.
