Bogotà Airport

Here we are at the airport bidding each other a tearful farewell after a month of fabulous fun together. I managed to get a flight within an hour of Anita´s and our gates were right next to each other's. She´s flying back to London through Paris on Air France (then Dubai in a couple of days!) and I'm on a flight to La Paz, Bolivia on Taca Airlines (Peruvian) through Lima. We had arrived early, were checked in within minutes and had time to enjoy a couple of beers before boarding. We marvelled at how peaceful and quiet the airport was - we were there for over 2 hours and there wasn't a single announcement over the loud speaker - it was completely silent the whole time and how much more relaxing than the experience at most airports where the noise is constant. A quiet voice at the gate let you know when the flight was boarding - only those people at the gate could hear it. We were also pleased and surprised that on none of the flights we've taken so far have we had to empty our water bottles - hoorah!
