Day one After arriving at the hotel in the early hours, I was keen to have a stroll day and do things at a slow place. I decide to visit the centre of Lima to see the colonial buildings.

I'm a passionate traveller and very content when exploring different places. I love to experience new cultures, as well as getting the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. My life changed somewhat in 2019 when I became a daddy and my priority has changed but my desire to travel very much remains.

What an amazing place. And the Limas civilisation, never heard of them, so I'm educated like every other day! Lima and swimming with sea lions. Fabulous intro to Peru. I've been waiting for these blogs Alan, so looking forward to where you head next.

South America! So thrilled that you made it down here though I also loved your Belgium blogs. Lima--what a great introduction--you saw amazing sites, met great people and swam with sea lions. I see that this was back in May when I was still in Arequipa, Peru. I'm now in Bolivia, but I have the sad feeling you may be home by now. If not, let's meet up! I'll be here until December when they'll kick me out. I'm so glad you are realizing your dream, traveler!

South America
Thank you! I really couldn't believe I finally made it to South America, it's been a dream for a long time. I am well behind on the blogs and afraid I came back home around middle of June otherwise I would have loved to have met. Bolivia sounds fun, will keep an eye out for your blogs :)

The World is a small place
Glad you were able to catch up with your acquaintance Lucy. Peru is rich in history. Thrilled we will get to relive our trip to Peru through your eyes. Always eager to read your blogs. Ah the aromas of Palomino Island-- we didn't go there but would have loved to see all those sea lions. Great stuff.

Peru
Pleased you guys get to relive your trip. It's a shame you didn't make it to Palomino Island, but maybe one day you'll get to go back. I certainly want to go back one day!
