Lima, Peru by the kids

This is a blog about Lima, I wanted to do a day to day one but my parents said no, this just going to be a blog about the highlights of what we did. One of the best thing was when we went to a restaurant called al toke pez, the food there was really yum. I got a platter that had ceviche, calamari and rice with prawns. In Lima there’s lots of murals, so everywhere we went we saw paintings. Another highlight is when we found a little stall that was selling picarones, there a type of donut that is traditional to here, it’s covered in honey and it’s delicious. We also went to a park that had lots of fountains, there was also lot of rides, I went on a big spinning one. The rides where cool but the fountains where outstanding, they had lights shining on them and then sometimes the fountains would start producing mist and a projector would start and it would show some traditional stuff like masks. Another highlight is when we went to an opera. The opera was in Spanish but they still had acting and it was interesting. This is now the end of my highlights, now just some advice, if you ever go to Lima, spend about a week or more to see lots (because there is butt loads to see).

I will not be doing a day to day blog this time. I will only be telling you the highlights of Lima. First, I pat a llama. Its wool was really rough. It was like touching a mat. But at the same time, it was an amazing experience.
Second, we went to a restaurant called Al toke pez. We went there because we saw it on a Netflix show. It was delicious there. There were calamari, some fish thing. It was just marvellous.
Third, we ate picarones. They are doughnuts with syrup. Superb. No icing whatsoever. We also saw them on a Netflix show. We got them from a stall in a park. They were one of the best doughnuts I ever tried. But there was just too many BEES.
Fourth, we went to a cat park. There were millions of cats. I pat one of the cats. All the cats were cute. There were cats on the walkways, cats on benches, cats in flower gardens. SO MANY CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fifth, we went to a place where there were goats we could feed. There were two babies, a few young ones and some adults. I fed all of them. There were some long grass that you could feed to the goats. It was a cool experience.
Sixth, we played on the beach. Andrew made a big hole filled with water and I made a collection of seaweed. I ran out every time I saw a piece of seaweed. It was really fun. Eventually I had a pretty big pile of seaweed, so I sat down for a lit bit.
Seventh, we went to a park with a musical fountain and some rides. We did a couple of rides. There was a flower completion, so we had a look at that as well. There was some really beautiful stuff. Purses with flowers on them, dresses with flowers on them, hats. And there were just some flowers in pots. The fountain was awesome. It made arches out of water, different colours. Different patterns. They even played a film on the water.
