Lima Walking Tour

Our short stay on Lima was in the historical centre (most tourists stay in the rich, and popular area of Miraflores) we opted to stay here because of the architecture and its we're the real Lima lives. We went on a free walking tour to learn about the history of the area we were staying in and rub shoulders with locals.. Lol... More on that later! 😂. The architecture was beautiful and built with the helpful hands of the Spanish in the 1500s colonial times (goes without saying because of the launguage). So a local tattoo artist called Alex took a shine to us after walking back from our tour, as we couldn't bring ourselves to say no, he walked us to his tattoo shop, through a local market (we were alittle worried this could be the end for us tbh) but we had nothing to fear, he talked to us in English after telling us about how he lived in Germany for a few years and we shared stories of Europe and our travels....all along trying to convince us to get a tattoo or piercing... Then he went to the obvious.. drug selling 😂 he told us straight up he had good grass (obviously from Germany...thats another story on how he got it here!) and baking powder, which you can guess as to the meaning! As peru boarders Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia and Brazil, its a good gateway country he told us lol! Anyway we passed on the offers and carried on our way to the amazing magic light show in one of Lima's parks that they show every night, close to our hostel (the pictures will be on our next post!)😊😁Baca lagi
