The first thing we noticed about Lima was the smog. The emissions from road vehicles was phenomenally high, which made going for a nice walk actually rather unpleasant. As large cities go, Lima was somewhat underwhelming. They have tried to pretty the place up with a green strip in the middle, but the leaves have been covered with brown dust from the smog.
We went for a walk down to the harbour area on our sightseeing day and walked along some nearby craft markets. The air was a bit clearer near the ocean and the paragliders put on a nailbiting show. While at the hostel, we met a guy from America - Rodney - who was going to teach English in Arequipa. He was preparing himself for the culture shock.
Dad was happy about the Hagendaaz Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream we found at the local supermarket.
