Yesterday was a great day! After grabbing breakfast at our hostel, we headed to the city in search of warm clothes and adventure! The bus ride was something really... interesting! When the bus arrived it was already packed but that didn't stop the dozen of people at the bus stop to get in (including us)! The photo is not very representative:

Safety regulations in the city are kind of inexistent! You will see buses so packed that people are sticking their heads out the open doors to fit.!

In the afternoon we used the free (3.5hours) walking tour of our hostel to explore the historic district of Lima.

We ate traditional Peruvian sweets like Picarones (very similar to Greek Loukoumades) and Leche Asada. The rest of the evening we had fruitfull conversations with some co-backpackers and we got great tips for the rest of our trip.

Day 1 in Lima: total success!
