Get straight to La Punta
While James has been off gallivanting around Chile, Veronica and I have had the chance to spend some time together (that is when she is not working). It has been really great. Vero has taken me to some of the local sightseeing places of Lima and the surrounding districts.
One of these places is La Punta (The Point), a 1 hour bus ride from the house. In summer this town would be really, really nice, but during the winter as it is now it is cold and windy. However the local council is trying to brighten things up a bit by giving the town a bit of a face lift. They have started to paint the buildings in all sorts of bright colours.
The town is definitively geared up for tourists, well at least the restaurants are, expensive and the quality not as good as the smaller village meals. (Still cheaper than Australia though).
La Punta is also where the Naval Base is, as well as an old fort, unfortunately we didn't go to see inside that this time as it was getting late.
We hope to go back there when James gets back, so hopefully go see it then.
