We are docked in Callao, Peru for Lima. Yesterday after breakfast we took a shuttle to the Marriott Hotel. They were nice and gave me a password so I could use their internet at no charge. I spent a bit of time catching up… checking bank accounts, TA stuff and my photography sites and doing a few personal emails.

After I finished playing computer, we booked a car and did a two hour tour of Lima. We had a great driver that spoke good English, he told us about a number of the buildings we were passing and did a walking tour of the Plaza Mayor which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many of the buildings were built in the 1500s and 1600s; they are very ornate; the churches are especially ornate - their style would probably be called Rococo. Then he dropped us off at the ship. We had missed the lunch buffet so we had soup and sandwiches at 3:30 which meant we weren’t hungry at all for dinner.

So far we have traveled 2743 miles. Our next port is Easter Island which is 2032 miles away. We leave Callao at 1:00 today and then have 4 sea days. This is day 11.
