Up very early and a simple, quick flight to Lima. It´s a shame the flight wasn´t longer because for some reason I had double leg room which would have been wonderful if it had have been one of my long flights tomorrow, still, I appreciated it for the little time I had it! This time I learnt my lesson at Lima airport and got an official taxi to the hostel.
I had booked a hostel half an hour from the airport by the ocean as it is supposed to be summer here and I thought I could have a day of relaxation on the beach before returning to the harsh reality of the winter. However, best laid plans, Lima was in the grey smog I remembered so not a lot of sunbathing for me! I did have a walk along the beach and it was warm, I didn´t walk that far as I am still in agony fom the Machu Picchu walking, it must have been the scrambling down all of those steps because it is the front of my thighs that hurt so much. I am still feeling very tired so cable TV and a very early night before getting up tomorrow at 4am to get to the airport. I have a 5 hour flight to Miami and then unfortunately because the times of my flight have changed I have an 8 hour wait for my next flight, that would be OK if I could go and have a look at Miami, but I won´t be allowed out of the airport... never mind lots of blueberry muffins for me! It is then 8 and a half hours to London and I arrive Wednesday morning and I am just dreaming of a long, hot soak in the bath, maybe with a whisky!
I feel as though I have been away a life time but I know as soon as I get home it will all just feel like a dream. I don´t know what I will do when I get back but guess it will be along the lines of get a job, earn some money and start saving for the next adventure! High on my list is Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos!
So as last time, thank you if you have joined me through the highs and lows of South America and I will see you soon! x
