Short update: Currently in Lima, California

Posted on May 2, 2014 by KK
Barranco

My impression of Lima (at least the Miraflores and Barranco area) is that it reminds me of Southern California. I think it’s because Machu Picchu brings many foreigners into town and the city has pumped a lot of money into those areas to make foreigners feel a bit more at home.

I applied for my Brazil visa. They required my in/outward bound plane tickets, my bank statements from the last 3 months, copy of my credit card, application form, and payment receipt of $160. They are telling me 5 business days, which means I’m stuck in Lima for much longer time than I wanted. But I decided to break it by going to Trujillo. My overnight VIP Cruz Del Sur bus leaves in 3 hours. It is a 10-hour journey.

I am also battling a stomach bug today. I don’t know what caused it but I took an anti-diarrhea pill, drank some Gatorade, and ate some Ritz saltines (they are addictive). I am hoping the overnight bus ride will go smoothly. I always have those motion-sickness pills which I find work great for knocking a person out cold!

Edit: Did a quick web search and looks like someone else agrees.
