After getting up earlyish, I wandered down the beach with my shirt off - I was so white still that I thought an hour of early morning sun on my back my do me some good! Unfortunately not - I just got burnt. It was a nice walk however, and I caught sight of a few of the surfing fishermen - they use reeds to build shallow canoes that they fish from, before surfing the waves back inshore.
We boarded the 8-hour bus to Lima at 12.30, having just discovered it was a "VIP" bus - Double width seats, loads of leg room, waitress service, fully reclining seats and air con - the lot! On the other hand, the first film they put on was Mamma Mia!, which is absolutely appalling. Pierce Brosnan is possibly a worse singer than I am!
After arriving in Lima, we took a private minibus to the tourist 'Miraflores' district, and almost immediately went out for dinner at a decent restaurant specialising in rotisserie chicken - I tried to be vaguely healthy and got half a chicken with salad instead of chips - then I ordered a double Pisco Sour, before several Black Russians in a nearby bar. Not too late a night though, headed back about 12/1 am.
