We returned to Lima for a day after Nasca. We went into the middle of town to see the San Franciso cathedral. The tour was in Spanish, but it didn’t worry us. We sat at the back of the group and looked at the things the guy wasn’t talking about. The highlight was the catacombs below, with literally more skeletons than they knew what to do with. There were thousands of femurs and skulls, placed in boxes, in rooms, in wells, and arranged into crazy patterns. I was a good boy and didn’t take any photos, which was kind of lame in hindsight… here’s one of the outside instead.
After getting back to Miraflores, we were one meal away from flying out. We opted for another cheap meal, the good ol’ set menu for s/ $5.50. In hindsight the two cheap meals we had that day may have been a mistake, but at the time they were very tasty…
The trip over, we headed for the airport and went back to our normal lives… what an awesome trip! Thanks to all the people on it who made it so much fun, and thanks to Michelle for getting the idea in my head in the first place.
I’ll also leave links to other people’s photos here, you may or may not be able to view them:
There is also a facebook group, if you like that sort of thing…
