Jeanne and I decided to upgrade to try and avoid the cold....only to find ourselves in a cold unheated room. Ha. Queue many blankets. Spent time mooching around town, (no surprises there then), enjoying the cafe culture and we went out for a group meal to say goodbye to Pete. The Pisco Sour flowed.

Next stop Lima. Nice hotel in an excellent location. Some of us decided to go for a chinese meal on the first evening and went for the safer option of choosing food by pictures. A beautiful city, with magnificent squares. Unique to this city were the wooden closed balconies. I took in the museums here, inbetween my mooching. Gorgeous cathedral, Bishops Palace and tour of the St Francisco Church. Then our last night in Peru marked Pete's departure for another trip, so we all met back at the hotel at 3pm for a few beers. I can only wonder how Pete fared on his flight, after a few started buying him whiskey. It was incredibly sad to see Pete go, having gotten so close to him over the last 5 months and always being able to rely on him to be enthusiastic, excited and jolly. A tearful goodbye. More to come in a month. Hmmmm.

Kirsten, if your gin and tonic is this strong (tonic yet to be added to either glass), then later on.......
.....I will get you to pose for photos with shop window stickers!
Just a small whiskey for Ken
