Rio to Istanbul the long way round
About this blog
The flight was 30 mins late landing in San P. It took 45 mins to get through the queue at immigration, then I had to retieve my bag and go through customs, then check it in again - a further 30 minutes, by which time it was boarding time (allegedly) but I was desperate for a fag so spent a further 10 mins looking for the smoking room before deciding to just go outside. My flight left 30 mins late anyway by which time I was a limp rag. To be honest it was only the adrenalin keeping me awake at SP airport (40 hours without sleep by that time). Anyway Jon was at the airport to meet me so all was well Except that Jon hadnīt booked a hotel. I understandably went ballistic.
