Lima, în sfârșit

Lima, finally!

We landed with hearts full and hands... well, lighter than expected.

Turns out the whole group is now part of a very exclusive club, the suitcases left in Amsterdam society. Only Rania and I, the light-packers by nature, walked out of Lima airport ready for a full wardrobe change and a fresh pair of socks.

First impressions?

Lima feels alive. From the car, the city passed us in flashes, bold murals, chaotic traffic, street vendors with smiles as warm as the sun. There’s rhythm in everything here, even in the way people cross the street, like they trust the universe will part the cars.

The sunset over the Pacific was something else.

A slow burn of pinks and golds that made us forget, just for a second, about lost luggage and tomorrow’s improvised shopping plans.

Day one, no bags, but full hearts.
