The Magical Water Park

My view at the moment


We spent the morning walking around Miraflores and touring an old pre-Incan archiological site, then walked some 40 blocks north to the "Circuito Magical del Agua" which I'm calling the magical water park. It's perfect to sit and wait for the sun to go down and the water show to start. 

Currently in: Lima, at the magical water park (I'll let you know when we find something magical)
Steps today: 17592, 13km and we're not done yet!

We Have Arrived!

Just a quick note to say we made it to Lima! Our smiles arriving were only slightly smaller than when we left. 

Though I can now say I've experienced an airline worse than Air Canada! (United for anyone wondering. Super not impressed!!) 

But we're here safe and having a beer. That's all that matters! 

Currently in: Lima, Peru
Listening to: Spanish cartoons were getting to us so now we're listening to traffic noise (and something that may or may not have been a hit and run just now?) 
Happy for:backpacks that double as extra bed pillows!

Day 1

I And this was a short noodle!  Great vegetarian restaurant in Barranco, Lima

Current location: Calgary
Listening to: City and Colour (and the cat eating)
Next up: finishing this bottle of wine then heading up to bed for an early wake up!
