Staffers

Not having slept much, I was handled by the airport staff rather than the other way round.
Consulting staffer, I was directed to queue and stood with rucksack, along with other business types.
Stood for a while. 45 minutes or so @ bag drop and desk established that plane had left without me as well as this i had been standing directed to stand in the wrong queue.
This being true, I wasn´t too bothered.
There´s no law against doing what you are told, although I think they´re trying to bring that one in gradually.

Leaving of Wolverhampton

Only temporarily unfortunately.

I have decided it is time to visit the great ancient civilisation of the south Americas.

I have never been before so it will be the first time for me south of the old border.

I will be adding pictures and videos along the way. You can write incredoulous comments if you want, (i know who you are), or not bother if it bores you.

Lonely Planet
Have bought Lonely Planet – Peru. Seems a little overpriced @ £13, perhaps its all that extra stitching the ‘Planners insist on adding.

Still, they make good reading material on the plane, and i have been swotting up already.

I believe some of the country is in rainy season.
Peru is a true ‘country of contrasts’, on one hand you have desert and on the other you have jungle depending on which way you are facing.

More later.

Te Papa Museum

We had time before heading for the airport to visit the Te Papa museum – which has got to be the best museum I have ever been to. Entry’s free, and there are about five levels with some awesome exhibits and displays. We wandered through Bush City finding out about plants, animals and their habitats, before checking out an interactive earthquake machine, an exhibition about relations between settlers and Maoris, and a video on some of the settlers who had made New Zealand their home. Whether or not you think you are a museum person, I would recommend that if you’re only in Wellington for one day, you check out this place.
