Day 267-273 Club Suiza, Miraflores, Lima

I purchased a real Cinnamon-Roll "Schnägg" from the bakery. It was pretty delicious, and I savored this special treat. I don't think I had one since we left Switzerland in 1971. We should take advantage of having this Swiss bakery so close by.

We plan to stay more or less here at the Swiss Club and not undertake too much for a few days. Everything is up to speed mechanically with the camper and ready for more adventures later.

One day, we visited the Gold Museum. It had a nice collection of pre-Hispanic ceramics, gold artifacts, and ancient textiles.

Jörg & Eva, the other couple staying here, are lovely. They are from the city of Langenthal and are very interested in archeology and culture. They plan to continue their journey to Patagonia soon. We were able to sell them our spare tire and gas canister. One day, they took us along on a visit to a custom potter we commissioned for a 6-piece (glazed terra cotta) dish set.

On another day, I visited the brother of Felix Tazartes, one of my watchmakers at Piaget New York, who works at Joyeria Reis & Curione here in Lima. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time for us. Ursula and I will visit him together another day.Read more
