Buenos Dias from Lima!! Today, our mission was to explore this beautiful city of Lima on foot ;)
Apa2 pun, kita breakfast dulu. Breakfast provided by our hotel....
Breads, butter, cheese, jams and eggs... syukur alhamdulillah...
Perut dah di sisi... let's start our journey to explore Lima!
The weather was super, super nice. It was such a beautiful day to walk around...
Plaza De Armas De Lima again
This plaza is the center of Lima's attraction. Unesco Heritage. The plaza is the heart of historical Lima surrounded by the city's main attraction buildings such as Cathedral de Lima & Archbishop's Palace, Lima City Hall and Peru's presidential Palace.
I can just sit here and wath the activities going on around here... sangat meriah!
Police officers were everywhere... so we felt safe in this area, alhamdulillah.
Those mustard colour buildings are City Hall of Lima
Loving the mustard colours buildings here. For Inca, the mustard colour represent 'power'.
In front of Peru's presidential Palace.
And the building behind us is the Archbishop's Palace
We walked around the city... there are many beautiful places and buildings in this city.
Casa de la Literature Peruana - Lima's architecturally notable library with a cafe offering exhibition, programs and guided tour.
Went to the local post office and found this stamp - the stamp has a picture of Machu Pichu in Peru and Gunung Kinabalu in Malaysia.I likeeeee!!!!! Priceless!!!
We later joined a walking tour (same concept as the one we follow in Cuzco - only pay tips to our tourist guide).
Inkan Milky way walking tour.
Oh well, more lessons on Incan and Peru history...
I actually had an amazing time walking around exploring the historical area of this charming city.
This is the Church of La Merced - one of the famous churches in Lima.
Back to the Plaza De Armas De Lima with the group.
Watching the change-of-guide at the Peru's presidential Palace from far.
Basilica y Convento de San Francisco de Lima.
A monastery with beautiful architecture and pretty courtyard.
Walking to the other side of Lima...
This is Chapel Our Lady of the Rosary.
It was said that it is the smallest church in Peru - also the smallest church in the world.
We later separated ourselves from the tour group and walked back to the Plaza De Armas De Lima area for late lunch.
Went to same restaurant and requested for 'picante' dishes again Lol!
Trout salad - sedap sangat makan kat Cusco aritu... so we requested the same dish again.
Souvenirs hunting again. Now that our food stocks mostly were gone, we have more space to keep the souvenirs Lol!
This nice lady sells silver accessories at one of the souvenir shops nearby our hotel. I did not buy anything from her shop, but while Mr Hubby busy choosing tshirts and the shop beside her shop, I would talk to her... she asked me lots of question about Malaysia and my family. Such a friendly lady. This evening, we came to the shop again and I told her that I am flying home tonight. To my surprise, she gave me some souvenirs - to remember her. MasyaAllah.. so much love in this small world <3
Later in the evening, we dropped by at her shop and surprised her by giving a 'Malaysia' tshirt.
Look at her happy face.... priceless!!! I made new friend here in Lima <3
That night, we had a light dinner before our flight back home.
It was already Friday morning 29th November in Malaysia... In Peru it was still Thursday.
29th November 2019 - someone turns 50!!!
Happy 50th birthday to my darling other half... my bestest friend, my travel buddy <3
Just a small celebration by eating sandwich and drinking Peruvian local fruit juices.
On the right is mango plus lucuma juice.
On the left is tuna (not the fish okay Lol! It's cactus extraction) plus guanabana (soursop) juice.
Both are yummilicious!
I am sure gonna miss drinking these drinks once I'm back in Malaysia.
How lar to find lucuma or tuna or guanabana - Lol!
Last meal and drink in Peru before leaving this country.
Adios Peru... it was such an amazing and priceless experience to explore this country!
Thank you Allah!
All packed and we are ready to go home...
Well, hello again New York City!!!!
