Day 2 in Lima

Here are some more photos! Sadly we will not be able to go paragliding as there is some issues with gliding off the cliffs in Lima. Details were few to come across, but we´ll look to do it somewhere else or maybe before we fly out on Friday next week.

At our little breakfast spot outside our hostel

Katie and I on the top of our tour bus about to head out around Lima

Some Inca Ruins of sort - we didn´t really understand what the guide was saying about them or why they are famous... but we felt cultured seeing them!!

Catholic church in downtown Lima. I learned that Peru is something lik 70% Catholic, which would explain the multitude of cathedrial style churches

A beautiful, semi-normal balcony view


Inka Kola - our story:
We read in the Lonely Planet (LP) that the resident favorite cola is Inka Kola, a bubble gum flavored nuclear yellow beverage. Clearly Katie and I had to try it... here is our experience.

The charming bottle - yellow as described

Now for the initial tasting...

Looking very anxious - the unknown is so thrilling!

Clearly not a favorite

Perhaps it is an aquired taste....

We will not be trying this again. However, I do believe we will be consuming copious amounts of churros filled with dulce de leche, a street food treat we tried today as well. YUMMMM

Sad to say, I probably would like bubblegum soda!
