We had recommendations from other backpackers and seen a brochure in our hostel advertising Parque de la reserva, a magic water show which at night time is lit up and is only 4 soles each. So we made the trek into downtown Lima which
involved using the metro bus. It is really quite a good service but we were leaving at peak hour where everyone was finishing work and beginning their nights out. A short wait later and two buses where people literally squashed into door jams and pushed each other off the buses I was beginning to wonder if we should have just caught a taxi. Luckily another 5 mins later we caught a non-express bus instead and although we didn't get a seat we managed to not be squashed between the armpits of sweaty workers going home. In all the drama trying to get on the bus I hadn't really paid much attention to where we needed to get off and we missed our stop. I should have taken the hint from there maybe that the night was not to be but on we went in search of the water park.
