Day 8 - Race to the border

We are ready to go at 4.45am. We need to be at the Peruvian border by 10.30am to make it in time for the flight to Lima. We do make, though only just, after some further processing at the border for one member of the group.

Arrive at Lima, at sea-level and with a sea-breeze, breathing oxygen-rich air after Cuenca's elevation of 2530 metres.

Meet Mike, our Peruvian guide, and some new travellers, then walk along the foreshore to a restaurant. Later, one last drink at a quiet place becomes an odyssey - again mucho borracho
