Woke up at 6, watched an episode of Rome on my pocket media player, spent quite some time packing and arranging my backpacks for the last time, and then began the last but very long day of this journey. I first went to the Museo de la Nacion, the national historical museum of Peru. It wasn't up to par with the fantastic museum in Mexico City due to a distinct lack of spectacular exhibits, but it was still very interesting to go through all the many ancient cultures of Peru with explanations and examples of their crafts (mostly pottery) and I could take my time for it and was allowed to make pictures, so it was good.

In the afternoon I went to the Mercado del Indios, a group of buildings with artesanal shops that sold souvenirs from all over Peru. The range and quality was much higher here than anywhere else, and so were the prices. I was just going to find a statuette for Danny's collection, but ended up buying 4 of them + a mask for my wall, all in the primitive but cute style of the pre-Inca culture of Chancay (examples of maskes).

I spent the evening in the mall that is spectacularly built in the cliff over the beach of Miraflores (the part of Lima I was staying in) and watched a movie in Spanish (The Ant Bully, called Las Aventuras de Lucas el Destructor in Spanish). I could follow it without a problem but then it's an animated children's movie :) At about 21h I took a taxi to the airport where my plane to Atlanta took off shortly after midnight.
