BACK IN PORT
Our flight back to Lima doesn't leave till the afternoon, so the Crazy
Californians decided to spend part of their last morning in Puno ascending
Kuntur
Wasi
(Condor
Hill). We're already at 12,500 feet, so what's another 600 to 700 feet?
And
there's got to be a view
of Puno
that
makes it more interesting than the one at street level. While I have
to pause a few times to catch my
breath, the view is worth it. I also decide to climb up to the base of
the condor itself so that I can take a few creative
shots.
After
we head back into town where I take a last few photos
of Puno,
including
a small indoor marketplace.
As expected, our flight is delayed, though always listed as being "on
time." We make it back to Lima just in time to get to the hotel
then head out to dinner. My roommate stays at the airport as his flight
is
later
that night, so we're down to the final four. After reaching the hotel,
we walk down to the shore and have a wonderful meal with an amazing ocean
backdrop.
I
never
do
get any photos of the shore off of Miraflores, which I regret.
