Arriving in Peru






Very nice flight on LAN airlines. It was certainly a change from the US airline we last flew on. We were allowed carry-ons, were served an evening meal and breakfast. Complementary wine in a glass wine glass. The cutlery was real metal, not cheap plastic, and a very accommodating staff. Even all our bags made it to Peru with us.

We arrived in Lima Peru at 5:30 AM, got our bags, went through immigration, and loaded on our tour bus. This was a brand new bus with only 2000 or 3000 km. on it, it even still smelled new.


We then did a city tour, went for a nice buffet breakfast, before getting to our hotel at 11:30 AM.
Our rooms weren't ready so they were offering complimentary drinks while we waited. Once we got our rooms we could freshen up. We then caught our bus for the ride to the National University. This university has an extensive agriculture program so we were lectured on potatoes, grain crops and assorted other ag. topics.

Once leaving the university we went one of the most prestigious Gastronomy schools in South America for a short cooking class, a tour of the facilities, and for a dinner cooked by the chefs and students of the school.

Back to the hotel by 11:15. Wake up call tomorrow at 6:15, so off to bed we go.
