It was nice to spend few days in Mexico City after a really stressful promotional tour for \u201cColours in the Dark\u201d in Europe, even though the sun didn\u2019t appear too many times \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>After Mexico we flew to Lima, Peru where I had been only once before with my band. This time we got to spend a week in Lima and got to do some sightseeing and shopping \ud83d\ude09 I was really considering going to visit Machu Picchu, but I felt that the last months of travel with the baby has been enough and wanted just to stay quiet in our comfortable hotel with her. Hopefully I\u2019ll get to visit the place one day.<\/p>\n<p>It was very humid and foggy weather in Lima for several days until the concert morning when I woke up and finally saw the sun!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_0473.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-759\" alt=\"IMG_0473\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_0473-224x300.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_0473-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_0473-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.tarja-coloursinthedark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMG_0473.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The concert was held in an open amphitheatre so the weather was perfect for the day.
