Lima
Oh dear, not such a good start to the day - I woke up feeling dreadful, and as we were in Lima, I couldn't even blame it on altitude! It would appear that too many Pisco Sours give you a bit of a headache!! Fortunately, as our tour was now over, there was no scheduled departure time, and no itinerary, so for the first time in 6 weeks we could have a bit of a lie in! Tony went for breakfast with Jan at a nearby café, while I (very slowly) sorted out the rucksack ready for going to Quito.
By midday, I felt better, so we checked out, left our luggage at the hotel, and Tony took me for breakfast at the same café he had taken Jan to earlier, which provoked some strange looks from the waiter! 
I had decided we needed to make more room in the rucksacks, so we set off in search of the post office, to send home a parcel of clothes and stuff that we no longer needed. Lots of the others had done this in La Paz and Cusco - very easy -  you go to the post office, they package your stuff up in a box and seal it all up in plastic wrapping, you sign a bit of paper, and off it goes. Easy.
Not so in Lima! Apparently all non-fragile items can't go in a box, they have to be stuffed into a pillowcase and elaborately sewn up with string. Paperwork has to be completed and signed in quadruplicate, and then Tony had to put his passport number and thumb print (!) on every page as well. They even had to send a photocopy of his passport with the rest of the paperwork and I'm surprised they didn't also need a photo of the bulging pillowcase for identification. So we queued up to have our stuff weighed, then queued up for the pillowcase lady, then back to queue for the man with the scales for re-weighing, stood aside and filled in all the paperwork, back to the same man to have it checked and to make sure we had written on it the sender's address, which had to be "Tony Church, Turista Inglés, Peru" and also " In case of non-delivery, DO NOT return this to Peru", then queued up to pay at another counter! After all that I had another headache and Tony was convinced that we would never see the pillowcase parcel again.
So we decided to visit the museum of the Spanish Inquisition, (mainly because I wanted to quote Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition sketch!) It turned out to be quite small, but full of very graphic life-sized models depicting the various methods of torture used by the Inquisition to make so-called 'heretics' repent! 
Next we went to an absolutely amazing exhibition of photographs, depicting images of people, and their stories, to illustrate the recent social history of Peru. The display was over three floors, and there were also little booths playing film footage which explained in more detail the poignant stories behind some of the photographs. On the ground floor, as we went in, there were enormous canvases hanging from the ceiling, with stunning images of the people and landscapes we had seen in the highlands of the Andes when we did the Lares trek. Then there were stories and photographs of people from the Amazon area, the dusty coastal areas, cities, towns and countryside of Peru  -  it was like a résumé of everything we had seen in our time there, and such a perfect way to end our trip!
As we had to be at the airport at 3am, we had booked a night in a hotel 5 mins. away from the airport. The receptionist in the hotel in the centre of Lima told us it would take about 30 mins in a taxi. Easy? No. Not in Lima. 
We had a lovely taxi driver, but he couldn't find the hotel!! It didn't help that there are two streets with the same name, and all the people he stopped to ask for directions (and there were about 6 different ones, and some of the same ones twice!) all directed him a different way. He rang the hotel twice, but even that didn't seem to help. TWO HOURS later, by which time the driver was wailing ' I just want to go home and have my  dinner......' and we thought we might have to spend the night on the floor in the airport, we asked a popcorn vendor, and the hotel was just round the corner!! Hurray. 
Off to bed....... Goodnight!
