Journey to Cochabamba
20-21/02/2010
After a long flight (12 hours and 10,300 Kms. From Madrid) I arrived in Buenos Aires at 9.30 a.m. (1.30p.m. in Spain) today February 21st. The sky is overcast and apparently yesterday 70L. of rain fell in one hour plunging the city into chaos. Not unexpectedly, the Aerosur flight arrived in Buenos Aires late so we left one hour late and arrived in Santa Cruz ten minutes before the Cochabamba flight was due to leave. Fortunately they delayed that flight because half the passengers were coming from Buenos Aires. One advantage of “human” systems where you can actually speak to a person who can DO something, the girl in Buenos Aires was able to check my case through to Cochabamba by calling to the luggage handling department and - miracle of miracles – it arrived safe and sound. So, having arrived in Cochabamba at the ordained time of 8p.m. (1a.m. Spanish time) I fell into bed after a most welcome shower!
