La Paz - Lima



Day 26 - La Paz - Lima

La Paz, Lima

Monday, 16 September 2013

Not much happening today. An 11am departure from the hotel. A bit of a sleep in, a leisurely breakfast and a bit of a photo swap saw the morning out. Check in at the airport was slow. Take off was interesting. Not only is La Paz the highest airport in the world, but it also has the longest runway, at 4km long. Due to the reduced amount of oxygen in the air, it takes longer to get the aircraft up to speed for take off, therefore, the longer runway. We arrived in Lima, reset all the watches and we were picked up by our guide and headed off to the hotel. Only the one night in the hotel as the journey continues....
