Well, we said goodbye to Bobby last night in Quito as he flew home to Vancouver and we continued our adventure south to Peru. Today we explored this ”City of Kings” founded in 1535. Lima is the capital of Peru and lies on the country’s arid Pacific coast. Though its colonial centre is well preserved, it‘s a bustling metropolis and the third largest city in the Americas measured by population living within city limits (and not metropolitan areas), after Sao Paulo and Mexico City. Lima has a city population of 8.9 million people and based on the traffic they all drive their own cars! By comparison New York City is 8.5 million people, while Calgary is 1.2 million people and ranks 46th on the world’s Top 50 city list! I have to say we feel a bit like the country mouse in this dynamic megalopolis!
