Flight back

The next obstacle was a cancelled flight.

We left Cusco about 10am (with lots of heart felt goodbyes) and flew to Lima. Booked into a KLM flight to Amsterdam at 6pm. Spent the afternoon reading the Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho. The book was about the pligrimage to Compostella de Santiago. A trip I would like to do at some stage.

At 5pm we were told that there were electrical problmes and that the flight would be delayed by 1 hour whilst they contacted KLM in the Netherlands. As time dragged on, it became clear that it was not going to tajke off, then the flight crew disappeared and we (about 500 people) were left to fend for ourself, helped by 4 KLM ground staff. At about 8pm were handed in our passports to have the disembarkation stamp annulled.
