Getting here

After hours of travelling we have had our first night in Lima.
The flights were ok, although we booked with BA / Qantas the flights here were with a Spanish airline called Iberia. First we flew to Madrid, where we had to wait for only about 1.5 hours before jumping on a much bigger plane to Peru. The flight was full of Spaniards and Peruvians, very few English speaking people. The stewardesses were a bit rude and we had a woman next to us that kept staring at us.

We were sitting there minding our own business, reading a book or whatever when one of them came round slamming all the window covers shut, it was only 3pm in the afternoon....SIESTA! Couldn't believe it, the whole plane was having an afternoon nap! including the flight crew, I'm just glad the captain stayed awake, but then again maybe he didn't.

The flight seemed to go on forever, I suppose 12 hours in one go is a long time, even when you fly to Australia from the UK, its broken down into two. When we got to Lima airport, after waiting ages for Lou's bag to turn up, we spotted Keke holding up a sign with our names on, and he whisked us away from the chaos that is the Jorge Chavez airport to his home, our B&B for the night.

Keke's wife Mirian gave us freshly made passion fruit juice from fruits that she had grown herself, and told us that for breakfast we will be having lots of fruit she has grown in her garden, just outside our room infact, is a banana tree.....next stop, Cusco
