Lima, the capital of Peru

A long drive south took us to the capital, Lima. It is a very big, busy and smelly city with constant noise from the overwhelming amount of taxis, one of which we had the pleasure of riding in on our final night. I have never driven so fast in all my life, the driver obviously spent too much time on his playstation and at one point after a particularly loud `clunk´ from under the car - he opened his door to make sure nothing had fallen off and then put his foot down again. Also, using the left lane of a three lane road to turn right was his speciality! Having said all this, the central squares of Lima are beautiful and we were lucky enough to see changing of the guard one day.
