Lima - Part Deux

Back in Lima after a long, restless overnight bus journey. It feels nice to return to somewhere familiar (we're staying at the same hostel). However, there seems to be no-one else around. We've practically got the whole place to ourselves! Achieved very little today, probably the result of a fragmented night's sleep. Call it cultural apathy if you will. It's nice to do nothing once in a while.

The tour yesterday was brilliant. Again, the scenery was mindblowing - more rolling hills and grassland than snow-capped mountains though. As I mentioned before, the Andes are immense. Puts any mountain range in Europe to shame. The ruins were really impressive, but like the Llaganuco lagoon, the setting is what really did it for me. It's difficult to put into words.

Next destination: Ica.

Here's a map of Peru to give you of an idea of where we actually are:
