Journey to Peru

Packed - and off to the airport!

Flights - 3,400 miles

• Norfolk to Atlanta 12:40 pm - 2:40 pm (2 hours)
• Atlanta to Lima 6 pm - 11:40 pm (6 hours 40 mins).  

3,400 miles
excluding layover in Atlanta

Lima, Peru

• capital of Peru
• 2nd largest city in South America (after Sao Paulo, Brazil)
• Lima's population: almost 9 million.  (1/3 of Peru's total: 30 million)

2 nights in Lima, then 620 miles north to Iquitos - and the Amazon!

Lima - GI freakin NORMOUS!

Lima - interesting coastline and highway (or... low-way?!)

• Hotel for 2 nights: http://www.swissotel.com/hotels/lima/.  

I mistakenly thought Lima and the USA's East Coast were in the same time zone.  They are not.  The East Cost is one hour ahead of Lima.  It is just after 2am here; so 3am back home. Good night, and happy Good Friday!
