Lima - the foggiest city in the world

Then we flew into Lima I could not believe my eyes - there was low level cloud for as far as you could see and the city was completely covered. I had heard that it was a bit cold and damp in the city even thought the city is at sea level and only one country below the equator but this was ridiculous.

We tried to do a bit of retail therapy but the ethnic tat was the same as in Bolivia but four times as expensive so we decided to go to the modern shopping centre by the sea and spent a few hours window browsing. We ended up in the Cinema later on and watched The Fountain which I loved but El found a bit depressing, so to cheer her up I took her to an expensive sea food restaurant and had the national dish raw marinated seafood in lemon it was fantastic and the vino was not half bad either.

Trust me


We were going to do a paragliding pilot course but to be honest couldn't be bothered and a touch of homesickness, maybe it was the damp weather that did it, that had us in its grips so we just hung around and soaked up the atmosphere. El had a haircut and the girl tried to turn her into a Dynasty extra, which I found hilarious.



We are looking forward to Ecuador and maybe the Galapagas islands if the credit card can stretch that far. Fingers crossed.
