Landed in Miraflores last night, about 6.50pm local time, and have just now finally woke up from a deep, deep sleep at about 12noon. The location I am staying at (the Eurobackpackers Hostel) is pretty good and is close to everything - food, banks, the beach etc. Went for a walk and arrived at the beach after a couple of minutes. It looks beautiful but the sky was a little overcast. Had my first "proper"meal for ages - it was really, really delicious and only 11 Soles (I'll let you work that out in $AUS). Will spend the rest of today sightseeing and planning the next leg of my trip. It is amazing being in a place where literally almost no-one speaks your language, and if they do, it is usually in a limited and broken form. It gives me a whole new appreciation of what many of the people arriving in Australia face in terms of the language barrier and making sure that they are not being ripped off.
