Lima and beyond

Having been to Nasca, we headed to Lima. Lima is the official capital of Peru with a population of 10 million plus. Very metropolitan and arty in places. Linda and I did a bike tour through the flash areas. Miraflores and Baranco. The ride was flat and very relaxing. Miraflores has access to the Pacific Ocean and there was a good surf running. Heaps of surfers out and lots of surf schools on the beach front with bikini clad learners. Linda dragged me away to a cool looking bar to cool down over a beer.

Here is some cool graffiti  art

Lima was pretty relaxing and did a lot of walking on the streets. 

We left Lima to head north to Trujillo.

A small city with the usual traffic problems and lots of sand. 

Off course we visited some archaeological sites just to keep the juices flowing.

Trujillo boasts Adobe structures built some 1600 years ago. 

 We visited the Sun temple and the Moon temple structures. Then we went to Chan Chan. Quite an incredible structure.

My camera died during this trip so no more photos that day. Linda has a few more. We are just about over archaeological  ruins with maybe a couple in Ecuador and Colombia..
