Lima and Miraflores

We visited Lima Centro by day to see the various squares, government buildings and churches. Tried out various dishes from the restaurants and street stalls of Chinatown. One highlight was a visit to the Catacombs where we saw the underground tombs piled high with skulls and bones from the thousands of people buried there until the 17th century. Our favourite museum was that of the Spanish Inquistion where we learnt about the process of the conviction and punishment of Catholic heritics.

Billy got to watch Germany v Turkey at 'The Estadio', a football themed restaurant which displayed memorabilia from teams around the world, including Forest (you Reds, two European Cups). They even had life size models of Pele, Ronaldinho and Beckham.
