Lima is a large city very spread out, so we took the easy route (a ship tour). We were fortunate that it was a Sunday morning and the traffic was light. The city has many areas of poverty, but overall, we found it to be clean, safe and the people quite friendly. There were many wonderful examples of colonial architecture. The ornate balconies were breathtaking. My favorite sto p on the tour was at the Lovers Park. (Yes, we kissed here). It overlooks the ocean and is full of colorful mosaic walls.
The biggest surprise in Lima, was when they dropped us at an artisian Mercado to shop. There were great bargains and quality goods. Silver is abundant and the jewelry deals amazing. If we had been given a second day here, I would have spent a fortune. Unlike other craft markets, we also found lots of original quality works.
