Where did the day go?

8am taxi for a 1210pm flight to brazil. Still managed a shower and breakfast. Rudy had arranged a proper taxi for us so it was less stressful than yesterdays ordeal but the traffic was no better.

What to do at the airport? Trying to find the ebook reader from day 1 turned into a fail. Retail therapy is always good, especially on a card as it doesnt count. Of course like yesterday the card was used too many times for my liking. I dont think they know how to operate the machines. 11.20 soles to spend. Done with a pepsi and milo(milo is not hot chocolate, its milo).

So through security we finally went. I went off and got the hands in the air treatment and passed. Annettes newest ceramic purchase did however require an inspection from management. Not sure if they thought there were drugs inside or if we were taking antiques out of Peru. Finally they realised we had just purchased it at the airport.

All that was left was a flight, a sleep and arrival in brazil 

We got through step 1 of customs quickly and then waited for our third bag. It didnt arrive. We asked security and finally found it hidden under another bag that somebody had taken off the conveyor. 

Then through the bag xray. 2 bags through and with the third in the machine, the operator stopped the machine and just walked away. The group before only put through half their bags so im not sure they really cared.

Our last guide organised a taxi for us. He was waiting and on the way to the hotel offered his services for $200us. We accepted. Now we hope that is all we pay.

Into our hotel, then to dinner at the Brazilian bbq all you can eat. We ate all we could eat and then squeezed in some more.

Miguel is picking us up tomorrow at 9am. Fingers crossed.
