… or New Zealand to be more precise. That’s the thought running over and over in my head as we rapidly weave through the chaotic moving mass of vehicles in Lima, past the mangiest ugliest dogs I’ve ever seen, past homeless people loitering on the streets at night, past buildings older than I can imagine.

Peru is a world away from New Zealand yet here I am sitting at a computer typing away adding a blog entry. On every second street corner it seems that there’s a sign proudly saying ‘internet’ – and for very cheap prices too (although our hotel has it for free).

Lima is a world where our eyes are constantly amazed, fascinated and amused. To come from a country with little history to one steeped in rich layers of history is eye-opening. Artwork from a time I can hardly imagine is beautifully preserved and has a timelessness about it that inspires me.

Soon we leave for our tour around different parts of Peru – can’t wait to see the sights!
