We arrived in the capital of Peru, Lima in good time after an 8 hour drive back down to sea level from Huaraz. We have stayed in a very central hotel only 2 blocks away from the main shopping street and also Plaza de Armas which is the main square. The plaza is a UNESCO site and is very beautiful during the day and also at dusk. It's home to the government palace, cathedral and city hall and lots restuarants. The day was spent having a mooch in the streets off the square, a spot of shopping (I bought another bag!) and we also managed to catch the changing of the guard outside the palace which was pretty musical! Lima has been a great stop but it's time for a couple of bush camps as we head further south along the coast.
