Day 3 - Lima sightseeing

Today we have done a little sight seeing tour by bus and explored the capital city. The tour took us up the St Christopher to the the big cross at the top, unfortunately it was too cloudy to see anything decent. The weather is cold and cloudy and we had a little rain this morning. The welcome from the Lima guides was a fab surprise as we didn't know they would be there.

Also we had one bag go missing which is planned to arrive tomorrow - if all goes well. Not bad considering the mess Heathrow has been in with their baggage issues!

News just in: Whilst the group were enjoying sightseeing Paddington went by Urbanito bus to visit Aunt Lucy in the Miraflores Home for Retired Bears on the coast. He had brought many postcards with him to save on the postage. They enjoyed several cups of cocoa and Aunt Lucy loved Paddington's gift of some Harrods' Thin Cut Whisky Marmalade which thankfully hadn't been confiscated at Customs.

Hi Hannah (and the group). Glad you arrived safely and hope the missing bag arrives! Can't believe you are actually there at last after all the planning and preparation! Have a great time and take lots of photos - with you in them of course! Hope you're enjoying yourself. Samxxxx

Do you think Paddington would be so kind as to take Olivia doll out with him next time he goes on one of his jaunts - Olivia needs to take lots of photos to show the Rainbows.

Hope the weather improves for you - but I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time regardless.

Love to Jess from Mum, Dad, Jack, Mavis and Leroy xxxx
