We spent today doing admin stuff. Tickets, banks etc.
Explored the Hotel, a bit. The Gran Hotel Bolivar is a colonial masterpiece; huge and ornate. It is also, in need of a bit of love.
There are long corridors, magnificent ballrooms and meeting places in stately decay.
It is, without doubt, one of the wonders of Lima!
The charming ladies at the Tourist Information Bureau sorted out our booking for Miraflores, down south a few miles, after many attempts.
We feared that Miraflores might actually be full this weekend! internet problems continue, so postings may be short and sporadic.

We also had lunch with the Nun's today. Nice restaurant called L'Eau Vive. Not cheap, but a nice place and lovely food. Our waitress/Nun was lovely and could have passed for an elderly Barrett relative. We suspect her of kleptomaniac tendencies -she insisted on taking our rucksacks away for safe-keeping and 'forgot' to give them back till prompted. We also saw her somehow walk away with a woman's ring, a huge silver thing I had noticed was firmly on the diner's finger. The woman called out to her, and the Nun shame-facedly 'found' it in the napkin she had taken from the table.
