A k a day in Lima Peru (Day 30)

The penultimate day of the challenge and the penultimate blog post. I am not sure about you but I feel that it has absolutely flown in. I can't quite believe that we have done a full month tomorrow. So for our last Sunday stroll we decided to take advantage of the closed off roadways around out area an do the big one. Out San Borja Norte and back via San Borja Sur. It measured 9.8 km almost twice our daily requirement.

As a bit of a tribute to Rab and to Brentford who finally achieved promotion yesterday after many near misses we donned a cap especially embroidered with Rab's Memorial logo.

Our plan today was to tackle the big one and do the full loop. It was such a pleasure with most of the roads closed off to allow Sunday lockdown activities to take place more safely. Families were out walking, biking and running. It was lovely to see and we wondered if it should always be like this on a Sunday.

I mentioned before about every country having branches of the Lions Club and today we found a monument thing to the Rotary Club

The inscription underneath says "Dar de si, antes de pensar de si" which translated means give yourself before thinking of yourself.

As I said before only essential vehicles are permitted to go out, no private cars so the roads were really quiet. Well quiet of cars. They were chock-a-block with cyclists and pedestrians although this picture was taken at the extreme end of our walk and there are only a couple of bikes at that moment.

As we walked on and re-joined the far end of San Borja Sur we met the Hedge family who were out for their usual Sunday stroll with their dog Privet. In fact you can see them there every day. I could see that he was really excited by my cap and Mr Hedge asked if he could try it on. I indulged his craving as I always feel that we should engage with the locals as much as possible.

Although this was my longest walk of the challenge it was actually not Sheila's longest. Yesterday she did over 11km with Nicola so she has done 20k this weekend alone. Big shout out to her for that.

Penultimate day means penultimate Strava bringing our total to a tad over 168 km.

I wish I could say that I have something really exciting planned for tomorrow's blog but I don't want you all getting too excited. At this very moment I am devoid of plans, exciting or otherwise. See you all tomorrow for the chapter 31.
