This is one lively town! First impressions, seen through a base of exhaustion, that I'd inadvertently landed in Vegas. The 'strip' from airport to downtown Miraflores is ablaze with casinos, bars, Starbucks, drowning in a concophany of noise from endless traffic.
Luckily I love a vibrant city as second impressions, after a much needed night's rest (trip time literally 24 hours from Lewes to Lima, and I never manage to sleep on planes) are much the same.
This part of Lima is gloriously colourful, parks scrupulously maintained everywhere with spring in full bloom. Artworks pop up around every corner.

El Malecón is literally a work of art, with ceramic benches perfect for sea views. A perfect way to recover from the journey, to walk the boardwalks and gardens, eating ice cream and watching the sunset.

It's early days but the sun is out, the ice cream is gorgeous, the hostel bed is comfy enough by hostel standards and folk are friendly. I've had worse introductions to a country. 😊
