The aeroship has landed


Karen says: We arrived in Lima and are sitting in a Starbucks at the Lima airport organizing our backpacks as Lan Peru won't let us carry them on to Cusco on their flight. Feeling 'over' this backpack with visions of the comfort and luxury of a wheeled bag .. I know .. I'm quite the wimp. Sleep has become optional or adrenaline has become my drug of choice! Only a few more hours till we are comfy in our hostel in the San Blas district of Cusco for a real nap.

Neil writes: This Damn Lima Peru is full of foreigners, lots of em, they all want something and can't ask in english.

Damn Butt burner airlines..
Portland to Atlanta, 4.5 hours, 4 hour layover Atlanta, Atlanta to Peru, 7 hours, 5 hour layover Lima Airport. Starbucks here, playing pan flute newage Peruvian new artist rock music over the Starbucks loudspeakers. Sinister echoes of 'ZAMFIERE' or Pan himself.

Next, a 1.5 hour prop/bucket flight from Lima to Cusco. Over 24 hours total travel to reach a hotel for a weeks stay in Cusco. Of course, this entire journey has been a delightful wheeze, lots of laughs. I need a nap and a clean diaper right now.. more later...

You should be ensconced in your cushy hostel by now, and exploring like mad. But if we're to live vicariously through you, you really need to post more pictures. One photo of a burned out couple doesn't cut it.
