Time to go home again. So, Saturday dawned coolish but hright and I had a leisurely breakfast before taking a walk to the Inca markets area - now about a 15minute stroll away from where I had moved to at the San Antonio. Plenty of shops but not really a great range of goods apart from llama or alpaca wool scarves, cardigans etc and silverware. I didn;t do a lot of shopping after all and made my way back to the hotel as the sea mist had crept in and the temperature fell markedly. Back at the hotel I met up with another consultant and we headed off to the "pizza and pub alley" to grab lunch. By the time we had finished the meal and the football game had ended it was time to get back to the hotel for the airport taxi .
Lima traffic was the usual mayhem but we found ourselves back at the airport and had no problems getting checked in. Soon I was in the lounge with a Bloody Mary in hand and recent newspapers to read. Then it was of top the plane and a good overnight flight to Europe. LAN service on the Boeing 767 was OK but the plane was very old with new seats! The entertainment system was not very reliable but I tried to sleep. The transfer in Madrid was painless and the Iberia Airbus for Vienna left on time; and by about 6 pm local time I was back in Vienna , another mission completed.
