Well we finally got to Lima. A surprising city. Unfortunately due to a mix up we missed our city tour, but the area we are in, Miraflores, is quite pleasant.
If anything it is prosperous with a well kept park bordering a cliff down to a black beach and a reasonable surf. One section of the park is - "roughly translated" - love park, and it really is. In the middle of it there is a statue the size of a semi trailer of a couple "making out" and it is apparently where amerous couples go to imitate the statue.
We have had our first Peruvian food, beer and Chilean wine all of which was fabulous.
Phoebe has responded to jetlag by giving up sleeping altogether and it is proving exhausting for everyone.
Quite frankly we would be very happy to spend some more time here and get our Spanish into some order before going to Cusco, but off we go tomorrow. We are yet to find anyone with more than passing English. We are learning Spanish....slowly.

Sounds marvellous. Bebad muchas tintas para nosotros!
Glad to know you're keeping up family standards by staying in the most elite area of Lima. Did you get a chance to try some of the famous ceviche? Hope you finally acclimatise and recover from jetlag in Cusco. And that the irrepressible Feeb finally sleeps too!
