In and around Lima

Photos from our bus tour of Miraflores (a nice area of Lima):
















Archaelogical site & Cath sitting in a windy spot :-)
















insane paragliders (they seem to enjoy paragliding between the skyscrapers) and some interesting Peruvian art (it's called 'the kiss')















Just some strange statue in the middle of a roundabout (I thought it looked interesting)..

Now for some photos of wandering around the centre of Lima
















Some of the central palace and cathedral...

Cool little statue just south of the city centre, where the Incan artists made a slight mistake, apparently the spanish word for flames is llamas which when told to the local artists (woman with a crown of flames), they interpreted it slightly differently... ;-)














And just a couple of more happy snaps :-)
