Nadeane & Dean's Trip
We flew into Lima this morning and the 2 hour time difference meant yet another afternoon nap! The drive to our hostel was pretty scary as we had to pass through the very poor parts of Lima. There were many homes with no roofs, dirt roads, stray dogs everywhere, definately like nothing we have seen bofore. OUr Hostel is luckily situated downtown in a safe area. We visited the Plaza de Armas and looked through the Cathedral de Lima which was built in 1535. It was really impressive, lots of elaborate sculptures, mosaics, paintings, and tombs full of human bones. The plaza was patrolled by many riot police and there was an armoured truck complete with water canon waiting around the corner for some reason so we didnt wait around for too long! We meet with our tour tomorrow afternoon and will spend the day exploring the rest of the city. Talk to you soon...
