So I finished packing, and we made it to the airport at 5:30 am, and all was well. The flight to Miami was very uneventful. I slept a little on the plane and was nice and refreshed for our 4 hour layover in Miami. Our 4 hour layover in Miami which should have taken off for Peru at 4:30 had some trouble with the main cabin door. They couldn’t get it to shut so our 4 hour layover turned into a 5.5 hour layover. Not to worry they were able to fix the door and we landed in Lima safe and sound.
I’m not really sure what I was expecting when we landed in Lima, it is a lot more Americanize than I had anticipated, and I’ve never seen so many KFC’s in one location. From the Airport to our hotel there were at least 6 KFC, 3 local Fried Chicken places, even the McDonalds in Lima has Fried Chicken on the menu. There were 4 Pizza huts or Pizza hut expresses and a handful of Domino’s Pizza. So we won’t have to live on rice and beans while in Lima.
I also did not anticipate the crazy driving. In case you didn’t know, that a honk in Lima is to let the vehicles around you know you are there and not because you are commenting on their driving skills. Also that stop lights and signs are really just suggestions. We did make it to the hotel without an accident, barely, but we did make it around 11:30 Peru time (12:30 am in St. Catharines). After a 20 hour day we were all exhausted and calling it a night.
