It was sad to leave the Gran Bolivar. A wonderful spacious and slightly crazy old building, still trying to hold on to its grandeur in the middle of a tourist city.
At midnight, last night, the music started. At first it sounded like it was coming from the bathroom but was from the bar next door! We are on the 4th [technically 2nd ] floor!
Peru seems to love 70's and 80's rock music and tends to stay up late on 'school nights'! The band are scheduled to play until 2.00am so we settle for intermittent sleep and music crit. The drummer really was bad! Otherwise, creditable versions of Bon Jovi, Journey, Whitesnake etc.
J. I went down to see if they were playing in one of the big events rooms, but the music was coming from the pub next door! Would have stayed and watched otherwise.
Off to Miraflores which is seaside and casinos predominantly.
Some beautifiul views and lovely, if a bit expensive food.
P. Wanted to go for a 'Folklorico' event, which turned out to be be a) v. expensive, b) in the local Hilton Hotel.
We sampled a huge Pisco Sour in the local grill restaurant. [Difficult to know what to call them as they serve meat in volume and very little else!] Then wandered home and found ourselves in the Mexican Restauarant across from our hotel.
