So we have arrived!! It is very warm here in Lima, but cloudy, so getting a slow tan through the clouds!!It was a massive culture shock when we arrived, with Spanish spoken so quickly, and terribly disapproving looks when we didn{t understand!But we got to the hostel, lots of Americans and one Irish, we are the only English. Everyone loves to give us tips about where to go and stay and what to see, so we have already found some beautiful parks and walked along the headland. All the parks were full of couples as apparently it is the only place they can meet. The flowers are just magnificent and the upkeep of the painting of the bulidings makes the Barraco part of Lima just amazing.We are off to central Lima today to look at the churches and do a bit of bartering. There is so much to see here and everyone has been so friendly. The food is amazing, we had fresh fish yesterday cooked in lime and lemon with mussels and squid. Delicious!!Next stop is Cusco and the Inca trail, so it will be an endurance test!! Wish me luck!!Beth
