Lima and Alpaca wool

26th July 2016 - We had an American breakfast at the hotel consisting of scrambled eggs and ham - bread rolls butter and jam and the most awesome coffee with milk. La Castellana is an old acienda style hotel with a middle courtyard. Walls made of stone!!! I didn't know stone is not soundproof!!!  

We walked Lima's streets and it is a typical city but with so many cats. People sit waiting for busses and in gardens with stray cats on their laps. They are fed as there are cat pellets and water in every park. 

Indulged in chocolate coffee from Havana - decadent and luxurious chocolate taste mmmm.

We walked the Inka market and bought Peruvian alpaca wool clothes - yay I can wash this set of clothes (I have worn them 3 days). Back at the hotel we washed and changed - handed our clothes into the laundry and went out to a restaurant we had passed. Tiny smaller than our bathroom at home. The owner, granny and children took part in making the food using a churascaira.  Mike had breaded beef with salad and I had a steak from Argentina with salad - served with 2 types of chilly - soooo good!! Three beers later we were ready for bed. Unfortunately there was Lots of noise with comings and goings of youngsters in the lobby - lots of laughing and conversation. I so felt like going and telling them to use their inside voices - getting old much 😫

No beach sand only pebbles - so many people surfing and boogie boarding
