Lima - Peru....finally |

Elleven hours on a plane is certainly not fun, but it gives you time to think a little about the insane scenario outside the window. What a world this is, what a planet. I know that Tellus is small compared to a lot of other planets, but still - what dimensions.

First part of the travel went well.... |

The travel so far has been without complications, but still a little bit tiresome. I'm now in Madrid, where I will have to spend the night before the plane departs directly to Lima Peru tomorrow. The picture is taken at the Madrid Airport, while I'm wating for the transport to the hotell.
