Barranco

---

Barranco is another suburb of Lima. Christina (the mexican girl) and I visited barranca for a couple of hours in the afternoon. We got there by collectivo - local transport, that is basically a minivan with people hanging out the side yelling the destinations.

Barranco was quiant, with a pretty plaza de armas and a library. We had a look inside and they still use the Dewey Decimal system and to get access to the books you have to give the Dewey card to the librarian who will collect it from a locked room.

When we went during the day it was a sleepy little area on a cliff overlooking the sea, but seemed to have a good night strip with clubs and pubs. The photos speak for themselves.

the front was a nice remodelled facade and the back was the original adobe bricks with scary birds on top!

Bridge of wishes
An old local man told us if you close your eyes and make a wish it will come true if you walk across the bridge holding your breath and then touch this post at then end.
