Lima, Peru - A view down to the shore. All over the cliffs along the shoreline people seem to have come along making shapes out of rocks. Each to their own |
|
Not the best weather ever, but we're on holiday, so aren't going to complain too much! |
|
|
High rise buildings on the sea-front. Could almost be any city unfortunately |
|
|
And there is a pier. A Peruvian Pier |
|
A random Church, Iglesia Medalla Milagrosa, the Peruvians seem to keep their church buildings all nice and clean |
|
The central park of the area we were staying in, Miraflores. |
|
And here we are in the central square - the old part of Lima, with lots of colourful buildings |
|
The presidential palace |
|
Slightly more obvious show of guards than at Buckingham Palace! |
|
We got there at the changing of the guard. Rather John Cleese walking going on... |
|
|
Dry season means the river isn't entirely full |
|
It would have been nice to see all those colourful houses on the mountains in good weather! |
|
A Nunnery in bright red, obviously |
|
|
The Cathedral, rather imposing on the main square |
|
|
|
|
|
When we came out of the cathedral, we were mobbed by some students doing their English homework, wanting us to tell them a story that they recorded on their mobile phones! |
|
The first of the couple photos from the holiday! |
