Lima
Picture of Lima from Google. I learned today that the city covers 2400 sq kms and takes 4 hours to cross. Hey,
hope everyone is doing well. Weather here is again very nice. Met with a friend's sister in law this morning. She wished me a good trip, told me to be careful, and invited me to dinner when I get back to Lima Dec 15th. She also insited I call her if I need any assistance at all, which is reassuring. Soon after that I got onto a tour-van for a wild ride through the streets of Lima. We stopped at a few sites on the way into downtown and then spent about an hour touring the central area of Lima. The guide was great and rambled off lots of information in 3 1/2 hrs, most of which I don't remember.
I have a meeting with my tour group this evening at 1930... found that out on a message board in the hotel lobby. There are ten people in our group, three of which I met this morning. One, from Hanover Germany, appears to be in his late 20s. The other two, a couple from Kirkland Lake, Ontario (near Timmins) and are probably in their 60s. They will be skipping the Inca Trail and will travel to Machu Picchu by train to meet us there. So far, all three are very nice people and I look forward to meeting them and the rest of my group later today.
We will be catching a bus to Pisco tomorrow at 1430 from the hotel, and I am thinking I might try to sqeeze in a museum visit tomorrow morning. I'll find out from someone if I'll have enough time. Wouldn't want to miss the first bus on the tour.
Might have time for another update tomorrow, might not. There should be internet access in Pisco, but there might not.
No USB or SD on this computer so can't load any pictures, but i will try to do so when able.
Take care all,
Adam.
