28. Tuesday 16/9/99 Back In Lima
Tuesday Took the bus south avoiding the metroplis of Guayaquil completely.
Crossed the border to Tumbes and then took the 20 hour bus for $10 to Lima, 

One thing was impressive as soon as you cross the border the coastal scenary changes from jungley banana plantations to , very impressive desert. I don´t know why , but I feel better about Peru than I do about Ecuador

Wednesday - Visited the pyramids in the rich suburbs of Miraflores. Impressive to see these ancient monuments right amongst the modern buildings. The locals don´t seem, interested in them, I think the Peruvians are conditioned to regard pre Spanish things as unimportant.
