Lima!

We are once again in Lima, our 8:am flight from Cusco was once again very smooth and everyone at the airport very helpful. First class again so we got our luggage before anyone else. More then a few dirty looks over that from the other passengers. Cuz trust me it takes a long time to get your luggage at the airport.

We are in the San Isidro area of Lima, the upper class area where the rich and all the embassies line the roads. The fancy Radisson hotel where there is even a pool. It´s hot and muggy and Susan is going to go lay by the pool after she gets in a few work emails. Oh with a cocktail in her hand. First non-colonial hotel we have stayed in so the elevator has kind of thrown me for a loop. What do you mean? I don´t have to walk up any stairs...

We leave for LAX at 1:40am tonight, so a taxi is picking us up 11:pm. So a bit of lunch at one of the cafes around the corner then dinner tonight at one of the recommended Italian places before we rest a bit more before our taxi.

The hustle and bustle of this huge city is a bit overwhelming after the quiet small town of Ollantaytambo. It´s also much more busy since 2 weeks ago because that was the beginning of Easter week and so many of the people left the city to go home or to their country places. We hit morning rush hour traffic so it was a real eye opener to Nat and Susan to see the amount of people and traffic trying to get around on streets not made for the huge numbers of people.

This is my last post of this blog. We will be landing at LAX tomorrow morning and arrive in SFO in the afternoon.

Hope you all have enjoyed reading. Much love
