Today was a rest day in Lima. I had intentions of getting my tyres changed at BMW however, notwithstanding a confirmatory email of a few weeks prior, after a 30km roundtrip through gruelling traffic and heat, I got there only to discover that they in fact did not have stock of the tyres after all!! That’s BMW service for you I guess!

The remainder of the day was spent exploring parts of this beautiful city and resting.   I have mentioned once before that the Chinese (Chifa) and Japanese food culture here is quite developed although using local Peruvian ingredients instead of the originals because they are/were unobtainable so Dinner was had at an awesome Japanese restaurant called Maido which according to Tripadvisor is the best Japanese restaurant in South America…It was Fantastic!

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
