Last day in Peru and this has been a
really special and lovely stay. Today we were back in Miraflores the seaside
suburb of Lima but this time for shopping. It is a really nice place to be;
modern and clean with Pacific waves crashing on the beach. Shopping mall is
very good too, easy to get around and not too many shops to confuse you.
Another piece of information today
and that is that Lima is 60 kilometres long and wide; quite a distance to
travel end to end.
One more thing I would say and begin
with a question. Why do kids in UK insist ona generally scruffy dress for
school attempting to accessorise and alter their uniforms? In many of the
countries we have visited including India, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, the
South Sea Islands etc. the children attend school looking as if they are proud
to go. Tidy and clean, uniforms spick and span, they look so much better. I
feel that not just in this but in many other ways we in the UK have watched a
decline in standards that make us look what we used to call “third world”. My
rant for today over!!
We sail tonight at 11pm (your 5am) to
Ecuador. Two days at sea with new entertainers and lecturers. If they areas
good as last lot we should be pleased entertained and educated!!!
