A capital city that sounds like an animal...

I tell you what, they do Easter properly here in Lima. Marching bands, parades, road closures, local dignitaries, a whole heap of security. I made doing my Peru challenge proper difficult.

Lima´s great though. It´s like a proper city. All old and stuff. With balconies.

Favourite Lima fact - there's a statue in Plaza San Martin which was supposed to have a crown of flames but because of someone misreading the order it has a crown of llamas.

Daniel Bond here are your best bits - Wearing the duck at the pirate bar, diving off waterfalls, kissing a toucan, drinking iced mate, "let´s make amends or break the rules", jumping exclamation mark, Death Road, the frogmask and the drunk man, "If I use a stick my Mum will disown me", blue Gatorade, Dead Womans Pass, The Porter switchbacks, Run DMC on the bus, getting battered by waves, pedlo on the Oasis, crashing a sandboard and talking about best bits ... all to Disturbia by Rhianna.
