Lima

Friday

Flew to Lima in Peru just in time to join my tour of the Amazon and Machu Picchu. Walking tour of Lima in the afternoon - a typical Spanish city with city square and ornate cathederals. Had a water canon and tank guarding the rich men's club in the city centre, and only a guy with a machinegun guarding the president's palace!

Toured the San Francisco monastary and catacombs complete with thousands of bones.

I have this theory that a Big Mac meal costs about the same (when converted to Australian dollars) in almost every country in the world, and I was pleased to see that the Peru Big Mac index was AU$6.
