We began the day with a two-hour walking tour of Lima - the city centre was absolutely packed (South America is very Catholic). At the Cathedral, a massive procession was just coming to an end having visited the 7 most important churches in Lima, and a 3-hour sermon in Latin was about to start... We decided to give it a miss.
As we walked around, we visited various key sites in the city, ending with a walk through the market - where you can find anything from artisanal goods to shark, ray, and pig's heads - until we reached Chinatown (didn't expect to find Chinatown in Lima!) where we stopped for a fantastic buffet lunch,
That evening, I spent several hours online getting my first set of photos up, before having a relaxed supper of cheese and wine in the courtyard outside the hostel.
