We are now in Miami, but the trip here was not an easy one. It all started out "well", we got up at oh four oh oh (oh oh oh... I was so tired) in the morning and got a taxi to the airport. We get there with lots of margin and we go to our gate just in time for a marvelous sunrise. We sit around for a while, time goes by, and all of a sudden its gotten really late without any of us noticing. Just then someone is walking by calling (i.e. mumbling) our names. It turns out our flight has left, from a different gate.
ok, it's not our plane, but we did see the aircraft moving backwards from the boarding gate (just like in so many movies - or in HIMYM, for the fans).
So we go out through security, which is quite a process that does not include being officially cleared into the country, and go talk to our airline. It turns out we'll be on standby until 15.00, then until 15.20, then until "un momentito" (an expression that can mean ANYTHING, but usually implies quite a lot of time) and finally they give us new tickets to Lima. From there on everything went smooth, we had no trouble changing our tickets in Lima and we even had time for one last Cusquena beer before taking off for Miami.
You have to admit that the sunrise at BA airport was quite captivating... the best explanation to our stupidity we found so far (although it might have been that subconsciously I (P) really really wanted to see my sister, who was flying a couple hours later from BA).
So far we have been walking around town a bit, seen the sunrise on the beach and slept a few hours as we didn't get to sleep much on our flights.
Everything in here have been sooooo cliche until now... We miss South America!!!

Maybe I should change poll, this one does not have success... Any idea?
Hi,
Magnificient sunrise !...
It does not tell how your flight could go with two passengers missing...and you don't tell us for your luggage...I guess you got it right, which looks like a miracle to me...
Enjoy North America, after South America !...
Best regards Jean-Yves
Hmm, captivant ce lever de soleil :-)
On resterait bien regarder ça toute la journée :)
Ya, ya, ya... Wer eine reise tut kann was erzählen. Enjoy!
Is that swedish ? Or bad german ? I'm confused here
I know that my Swedish is getting more and more lousy, but I am still quite sure this is not Swedish :-P
tu y reviendras bien un jour, c'est sur ! peut-être dans le cadre d'un programme d'échange de thésards entre Madrid et Lima, qui sait ?
A bientôt Pierrot !
yep, on y reviendra... et a Miami aussi!
ich habe ein spanisch vater und eine deutche mutter. Ich bin sicher das ist Deutcsch. Ganz komisch irgendwo. Und Schwede ist eine sehr schleimisch Land wo du kannst nicht fahren 140km/h wenn der ist Is auf dem Autobahn. Sehr traurig.
