Days 31 - 33: Lima

Disappointingly, our good time in Lima was capped off with a little bad luck. We are now sans iPad, due to some quick Peruvian fingers. So we may be short of blog photos from now on!

But anyway, back to where we left off! On our last day in Huanchaco we went on a tour of the nearby ruins. These were constructed out of millions of mud bricks, and had the most amazing designs painted on the walls!

Then we headed on to Lima. We hadn't heard great things about Lima, but it was nice to have an explore around the old town, including the Franciscan cathedral and catacombs (ooooo creepy!) and attend a Peruvian soccer game, supporting the home team, Alianza Lima, of course! The dancing and singing where Lima were ahead 2-0, and subsequent hurling of abuse when they finally drew 2-2, was spectacular!

We have also gained seven tour group members, which takes some getting used to after being a close nine for the last 16 days! The tour from Lima to La Paz is their busiest, as everyone wants to do the inca trail! Today we are back on the bus (getting used to the size of this continent!!) and heading to Pisco, the home of Sarah's South American drink of choice, the Pisco Sour!!

Sam Fact Day 33: Inca Kola, the bubblegum flavoured, bright yellow soft drink, is one of the only two soft drinks in the world which sell more in their home countries than Coca Cola. Because of this, McDonalds forced Coca Cola to allow Inca Kola to be sold in store. Coca Cola now owns Inca Kola.
