Lima nas vita/ Lima welcomes us

---

Z Huarazu do Limy to bolo skoro 8 hodin a tak sme sa rozhodli cestovat cez noc a do Limy dorazili okolo 5 rano. Este bola tma a tak sme sa rozhodli pockat v cakarni kym sa rozvidnie, kvoli bezpecnosti a tiez sme si neboli isty ci by nas pustili do hotelu tak skoro rano. Pred osmou sme si zavolali taxik a nechali sa odviest do centra, kde sa nam do 15 minut podarilo najst krasny hotel priamo v starom historickom centre. Obidvaja sme sa citili troska unaveni a rozhodli sa na hodinku si zdriemnut, samozrejme to bolo dlhsie a tak sme nakoniec mali cast len na navstevu jedneho muzea - Museo Nacional. Lima na prvy pohlad posobi ako klasicke velkomesto plne mrakodrapov, modernych budov a sirokych ulic, medzi tym sa tiesnia historicke domy postavene v klasicom spanielkom style, ale samozrejme ze niektore casti su na tom ovela horsie - slumy. Prva vec ktora udrie do oci je neuveritelne chaoticka doprava, Lima je obrovske mesto bez metra a dva krajne prudy vyhradene len pre hromadnu dopravu niesu nicim vynimocnym. Vacsina autobusov ktore v meste premavaju by v ziadnom pripade v Europe nepresla technickou - to bolo vidiet uz na prvy pohlad. Vecer sme sa uz velmi nechceli vzdalovat od nasho hotela a tak sme sa rozhodli pre navstvu cinskej stvrte kde sme si aj dali veceru, ale uprimne, nebolo to nic moc.


It takes about 8 hours from Huaraz to Lima so we decided to take a night bus and arrived to Lima at 5 am. It was still dark so we decided to wait in a waiting room till light - because of the safety and also we werent sure if it wasnt too early to check in our hotel. Before 8 we hailed taxi and went to the centre, where we found beautiful hotel in old historic centre in about 15 min. We both felt a bit sleepy and decided to have a quick nap, of course it took longer and in the end we had just time to visit one museum - Museo Nacional. First impression from Lima - it looks like any other big city full of huge and modern buildings and wide avenues, dotted with old historic building build in classic spanish style, but of course there are also some rough areas - slums. First thing to notice is incredibly chaotic traffic, Lima is huge city without tube and two lines reserved just for buses are not an exception. Most of the buses still running wouldnt stand a slightest chance in passing MOT - it was obvious from the very first sight. In the evening we didnt want to walk too far from our hotel so we went to visit nearby chinese town where we had our dinner, but to be honest, it wastn great.
