Sunday was the first of two days in Lima, Peru. We arrived early and were docked by 6 AM at the port of Callao . We did not have any excursions booked for today so we just took it easy. We checked out the vendors who had set up on the pier. After that, Kathy went back to the ship and I took the shuttle bus provided to the Miraflores District of Lima. There is a shopping center there that is built into the top of the cliffs along the shoreline.
Later we watched the Superbowl in one of the theaters and one of the lounges.
