Hung around in central Lima until after dark so we could go and see the Magic Water Circuit fountain show. We'd seen this before but lost video footage so it was a chance to see it again and record some of it. Incredibly popular show with the locals, the park was absolutely rammed with families.

Tomorrow's firm plan is to visit the Larco museum and we'll play it by ear after that.

Of course, it's not a geyser, just a small fountain in the Japanese Garden in Leverkusen/Cologne-Flittard.
