November 5 The last day

Thanks to the Pisco Sour I sleep long and then spend most of the morning trying to get all my things into the luggage and make it airplane safe. At exactly 12 - checkout time - I am done and ready for some breakfast. So I leave the luggage at the hotel and find myself a Starbucks.

I see the tourist bus company and I am tempted. I have all day to spend and haven't really seen Lima.

So I get a ticket. The bus leaves at 2:15pm and I am supposed to be there 10 min early. No issue. 

I read, write the blog and have good coffee. Somehow my mind is set on 2:30pm and so I show up there at 2:20 to see the bus depart. Here goes my afternoon. This was the only one.
I take a cab downtown to look at the historic part of Lima and end up in front of a building that could be the government. There is a marching band coming around the corner and marching inside the courtyard, so I am watching. They are rolling out red carpets and appear to be very busy. The street gets closed off and it seems like something big is happening. So I am sticking around. 20min, 30min, 45min, 1h... Nothing is happening and I am leaving. The area around this building is really nice.

I do some last minute shopping for the christmas tree. :)
After dinner I go back to the hotel and the taxi driver is already waiting for me.

In Lima airport I meet Carolina and Paul from the Inka Trail again. On the plane I fall asleep right away. When I wake up, I will be in the US :)

This was definitely one of the most adventurous vacation I ever did. It was a lot of fun and the experiences I made were unbelievable in the most positive ways.
