Upper class toilet break
by AR76
As you may or may not know, hygiene standards here are somewhat lower than you may be used to. So finding a clean toilet can be a challenge...
Tip! Go have a tea (or coffee, or soft drinks...) at the Sheraton Hotel, and while there use the clean toilets - you don't know when you will see another one...
Beaches
by SirRichard
Lima is not an idillic place for Pacific Ocean beaches. Anyway, if you are in need, the best beaches in town are those in Miraflores and Barranco. They are black pebbles beaches, narrow and not very pleasant for sunbathing, as they get crowded in summer.
For better beaches, you have to go out of Lima, like Punta Hermosa, San Bartolo, Pico Alto or Punta Rocas. Though there are public buses, hiring a car wuld be a good option for a daytrip there.

Punta Hermosa - juice in a bag
by MovingMere
I've already talked about the fresh juices that you can get everywhere in Peru, but I didn't explain how to take them with you, as they're served in a glass that is washed once you finish and remains at the juice cart.
One morning we got a late start to the beach (my fault), so we wanted to take our food with us to get as much sun as possible. I asked Luis if I could get juice to go since I didn't see any plastic cups. He said, "yeah, they'll put it in a bag for you." I rolled my eyes, thinking he was trying to trick me (I can be a bit gullible at times) and ordered juice to go. Sure enough, they gave it to me in a bag!
You hold one corner up, make a hole in it with a straw, and then drink out of the bag. I felt kind of silly, but we saw a girl in Huaraz do it too.
Nice photo, Luis. :)
Below Average Indian
by XKuger about Maikhana Namaskar India
I saw this Indian restaurant on my first day when I was heading to my hotel from the airport, however could not locate it.
On the last day I happened to pass it so decided to check it out and have dinner.
The food was very, very mediocre and expensive for an indian restaurant. Some of the dishes were downright far from the original.
However if you are really craving for Indian food by all means stop by. None, didn't find anything worth make a trip here to eat.
