Finally here

After 30 hours of running around London and Miami airports I am finally "back home" in Lima. It felt like a year, exhausting to travel with 3 different flights and the waiting between them is even more annoying. Miami... talking about strict security control! Finger prints screened, photo of my face taken, questions why I'm travelling alone and why Peru... Standing in hundred different lines to check passport, luggage and VISA. Yes you have to apply for a visa to the US even if you are only passing by. It's only 14$ but still. I didn't get so much sleep on the flight from London to Miami but from Miami to Lima I was completely passed out. Otherwise I could recommend British Airways and American Airlines to other travellers. Friendly staff and better food than on the other airlines that I have flewn with. On my last flight my hand luggage (I only took hand luggage with me because I was afraid that my bags will not arrive in Lima) didn't fit anywhere. The flight was so fully booked but the friendly staff got a place for my bag in business class. Unfortunately I myself had to sit in economy class.

I'm staying my first week in a hostel in Miraflores, my favorite neighbour hood in Lima. Hostel is named Kusillus. It's 9euros per night. The room is allright nothing special but what to expect in Latinamerica and with this price. The location is excellent. It's amazing how much you can forget in 4 months in Finland. Here is soooo much people, where are they coming from. Like ants on the street enjoying from the heat. It's 25 celsius degrees and the sun is shining, Im loving it. Tonight I will meet up with Hector, one of my class mates from Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. And on saturday with the girls! Carolina and maybe the others. On sunday I get to visit my favorite peruvian Renatto who is hospitalized at the moment. I will give him the surprise that some of you may know of ;) Here is pic of my room.
