travel reflections

On the plane again - first leg. The fifth of November and the plane needs to be deiced - welcome to the winter travelling season. Free beer and drinks, a meal and more legroom than Sunwing what could a traveller ask for? Landed at Panama City  Paname - the Hub of the America,s home to Copa Air and its eighty planes and 1300 employees. A wait of an hour and a short walk to the next gate and we are on our way again. The second plane was only half full and that gives us plenty of room to stretch and easy access to the washroom. Anther meal - steak and gravy with roast potatoes.

Landing in Lima very modern terminal and very efficiently processed. One thing we had never seen before - a man who checks the bag in your hand against the baggage stub that one gets at initial checkin (yep, the one you usually throw away). Emerging from the door into the arrivals hall, very much like Pearson, one immediately looks for the man with the sign with your name on it. Yep one was there, he grabbed the bag and we followed him into the parking lot and into a top of the line Toyota.


First impressions of the landscape are: very busy, traffic chaos, crowded buses and that the journey would have been much more interesting in the daytime.

Breakfast looks good
