Davies Street where the hustle and bustle of the shopping district is left behind for the quiet, reserved elegance of huge Edwardian white-stone buildings housing all manner of exclusive and expensive businesses along with the odd residential building. It feels exclusive and I'm not even there yet.

True to its name, the Red Door salon has? a red door. Bright pillar box red. From the street you can also see into the hair salon.
Enter through the red door and you find yourself in an understated reception area. Stands of Elizabeth Arden products are sited here and directly in front of you is the reception desk.

The author himself describes it as "an exercise in compressed time". The compression is multiple: a year's journeying, 25-years of the author's own investigations and reflections, about a hundred years' archaeological enquiry, three centuries or thereabouts of scantily (if not suspect) written record, and a few millennia of civilisation.
Ask a random sample of people what they know about ancient Peru and the chances are you will get a silence, followed by murmurings about Machu Picchu, the Incas, and the Nasca lines. Most probably, the Nasca lines won't be named as such but people will ...
