in Lima with Leo
WOW .... I think now I can claim to have been times in the real Lima. Miraflores is very nice and even a trip to a foreign culture, but since there tend to live the "upper class" and the many tourists, there is something quite different, if you then moved once in the center. The streets are full of people and everywhere there are small stalls, snacks are offered to eat. The offer is really huge. At each intersection there are Choclo con Queso. They are rather large ears of corn that are eaten with cheese. Or you can serve fresh squeezed juices, which come in all variations. And of course, are also offered here anticuchos, and they taste much better than the ones I've eaten in a restaurant in Miraflores. Leo and I have decided for Picarones. The ring of dough are deep fried, served with honey. And then we have nibbled rice pudding with Früchtemus. :)
I told Leo that I wanted to get a few things we have the historic Old Town of Lima, with its grandiose Plaza del Armas, the Cathedral and the government buildings, no longer seen. But our time has been sufficient and no longer. But I have still enough time here and I must not look at everything at once and only in the past flit:)
It started well .... to the fray. First, I wanted to buy a bag to stow and the other things that I wanted to get. Really great, it was natural that Leo is well versed, because alone I would have never found her way there. We were running about 10 minutes through the streets, until we turned onto a street in which it almost everywhere only backpacks and Bags were. Most shops were not even have a sales area of 20m ^ 2, but there were only determined at the 80 stores for bags. And then it was so similar in all things, wanted to get my hands on. So we came, for example, in a street where there was almost only musical instruments and music equipment. I wanted that is still around to get a guitar for my birthday ....
You get there in the streets and markets of almost everything, so there is a huge market on the only sweets are offered or just another market for toys, etc.. I got even a memory card adapter for my laptop. However, we do not have sandals I can find. Since most stores only carry shoes up to size 42, it is of course a bit difficult if you need size 44 or 45. But I am sure we would have searched a little longer, we would have found sandals for me.
After all the shopping, the crowded streets and the air in Lima is the whole exhaust pretty bad, we were really broken. So we were on our way home, for which we needed almost 3 hours because there was so much traffic. Back in the village it was then straight to bed.
