Deepavali! Although I had to wish everyone yesterday itself because Malaysia is way ahead in time. Amma and Appa are sad that I am not home for Deepavali, and while I miss them and the festivity that goes with it, I don't really feel sad because it is not celebrated here at all (obviously) so I don't feel as if I'm missing out on anything, it is just another ordinary day. And this is not the first time I am missing Deepavali, when I started chambering we were not allowed to go on leave and I missed Deepavali that year, 2003.
My last day in Rio! I quite like this city, there is something about it that is charming, laid back and fun. I certainly leave with fond memories. It was quite sad to say goodbye to Fabian and her uncle, they were very good hosts, kind and hospitable. I checked out of the favela at 12 pm and headed to the airport.
My first flight was from Rio to Foz do Iguazu at 4.30 pm. The next flight was from Foz do Iguazu to Lima at 8.45 pm. Here I had to collect my luggage, go through immigration and customs, and then re-check in my luggage. My next flight from Lima to Cusco was only at 5 am, so I had more than 6 hours to wait. I sat down quietly in a cafe, had a chicken empanada and a hot chocolate and updated my blog. I didn't really feel sleepy for some strange reason, but I had already decided to sleep the whole day once I reached Cusco.
Finally the flight at 5 am and I reached Cusco at about 6.20 pm. Four countries later, I am back in Peru!
