Thwarted in Lima?

Of course we made it to Lima airport in time for check in! But one of the features of this city is the Garua, or thick, damp fog. It happens all the time, so surely this major international airport has ways of functioning under these hazardous conditions? Nope, this is Peru: airport, cerrado. Hotel? No Senor...
Scheduled departure, 12.55 in the morning. Actual departure, 5.00 in the afternoon. Now LAN may be a One World alliance member, but don’t expect their ground services to be in any way professional. But to be fair they did give us a free lunch at one of the terminal restaurants. There had also been time earlier in the morning to slip into Lima (Miraflores, to be precise) on the ‘S’ micro. This is a small minibus, packed to the rafters with people, tearing along a busy dual carriageway, honking its horn at every other vehicle and braking furiously to avoid collisions. But at least it was cheap… Roll on Rapa Nui!
