Told you it was exciting.

Now in Pisco.

List of sites worth visiting:-
Cathedral
Miraflores Pizza Street – for a drink
Inca Market

The rest is humdrum touristy bullshit replicated, repeated and re-formatted for capitals throughout the world.
Not very interesting.
Not very engaging.
We feel that we have to do it, but I won´t bore you with the details.

Things to look out for in Lima:
Buses, taxis, cars they drive worse than the Spanish.

Have spent morning familiarising myself with the area, nothing serious, shops ´n shit had to find a chemist.
Will check LP later.
Getting used to the cockroaches in my room.
Peruvians seem friendly enough.
May learn a little Spanish to oil the wheels of south American/British social integration efforts.

Taxi drivers rob my walkman & try and charge me $100 to ship me from airport.
We all see this is a good laugh, as I fail to realise the Peruvian taxi driver has rooted my bags while I was at the cash machine.

Seems I’m not the only celebrity visiting Lima.
I´ve got this brief video, Jorge Pardo one of Peru´s top singers won 2 ‘Gaviotas de Plata’ for best south American singer in Santiago de Chile and Peru.
He was pulling in at the same time I was.
I think this catches the moment perfectly.
