As I mentioned yesterday, we headed to Miraflores yesterday
afternoon. This is one of the fanciest areas of Lima that makes you feel
that you're not in a third world country. There are loads of shops, restaurants
and cafes targeted at probably the wealthier classes of Lima.
Miraflores is on the coast with a lovely little beach and perched high on the cliffs above the Pacific ocean...the only problem was that we
couldn't actually see the ocean, at all! Sadly there was too much
fog but we did have a giggle at the man standing there announcing
"Señoritas, come and have your picture taken at the ocean side"
um...excuse me señor but what ocean?!
I bought some sandals in a shop
in Miraflores and we both got some quaint Anne of Green Gables straw
hats. I'm not sure that we'll be starting the next big fashion
trend but at least it'll stop us getting burnt (that's the theory
anyway). I'm off to church now and I'm sure a sermon in Spanish will be a
bit of an ordeal yet I'm strangely excited. I'll report back on how I found it soon.
