And so it is over … what did we learn
We are home … we survived the 31+ hrs in transit thanks to some last minute upgrades I made to our flights taking us from economy to premium economy. This gave us extra leg space and access to the LATAM lounge in Lima. It was lovely to be able to sit in comfy chairs, have something to eat and drink, relax and recharge. I would highly recommend looking into last minute upgrades if possible. It didn’t cost that much more, as opposed to what it would have cost if we had purchased them when we originally bought our tickets. So what have we learnt from this adventure? This was a tough trip … the toughest one we have ever done. The nature of the trip with its high altitudes, the humidity in the jungle, the physical demands of getting into and out of pangas and river boats, hiking in the mud and lots of super early mornings. Added to that the physical impact on the body with tummy bugs, a spectacular fall, losing my voice, coughs and ending up with the flu. In hindsight … would we do anything...
