6 Continents, 5 Months

A Day Of Flying

COLOMBIA | Tuesday, 30 November 2010 | Views [380]

Today was probably the longest day on the trip so far. We woke up at the crack of 6 and boarded a plane at Peru International Airport at 10 am. On the short plane ride of 3 hours to Colombia I wrote an essay about Peru as an assignment I'll hand into my school. The essay took about an hour and a half and the rest of the time I just watched a movie. When we got to Colombia, we had to catch another flight, to Barcelona six hours later. So the family and I went to the food court that consisted of two caffe's and made the most of our time there. There was also probably around twenty small shops around the terminal so I looked around a bit. It was a very long six hours. When we were supposed to board the plane, we got delayed for an hour in the small room, just past security so nobody could leave. It was a really big plane so in the small room the probably had around 75 chairs, about 300 people were jammed in the tight area for a solid hour. When the people that work for the airline finally let us on the plane, we waited on the tarmac for a good 45 minutes. Good thing I had my iPod. The flight from Colombia to Barcelona was 9 hours long. We finally got up in the air at midnight when we were supposed to leave at 10. I only slept an hour on the flight but I wasn't even tired. Nothing interesting happened on the plane, all I did was watch movies and play on my iPod, that's nine hours of my life i'll never get back lol :)
