Attending to beauty needs

Using a 5-hour layover, Inga gets a manicure at Lima airport

Trekking and the mountain / desert dryness has been hard on hands and feet. We both got a manicure-pedicure in La Paz (great deal!). While waiting at the Lima airport for our next flight yesterday we both got a manicure - and Jan also went for a foot massage!


My hands look better now than they ever do at home. I think I like this manicure thing - except I paid like $10 for them here ... Jan says they are a little pricier back home :(

1 night in Lima

Yup, that's us at the Bohemian ...
celebrating life in general ... with
2 bottles of wine and great eats.

And the celebration continues on
the streets of Lima ...

OK, so we just have 1 night in Lima. We're at the Miraflores House with the most helpful Francis running the show here. We went for dinner at the Bohemian. Well worth it! Great 4-star service and excellent food. We're staying in Miraflores for the night. The nice, safe neighbourhood. Far different from the rugged outskirts the bus took us through.

We're loving Peru and the people we've met so far. Hard-working, honest-living folks who are trying to make the best of their situations. Gotta lot of respect for that! Looking forward to being in southern Peru toward the end of November for a couple of weeks..... Meanwhile Bolivia is beckoning .... and soon a few more trekking pics.
