Aranwa spa part 2

We woke up to a lovely view. We missed all of that last night because of the darkness factor. Once we opened up the curtains we were amazed at how beautiful the view was. Breakfast was very good. I had a custom-made omelette and the buffet was quite extensive. We made ham sandwiches for later because on a tough travel day you never know when you need a pocket ham sandwich. We try to get her boarding passes last night but it would never go through. So after breakfast we went up to the front desk to try and print out our boarding passes. The first leg, Cusco to Lima, printed out okay. The second leg, Lima to Iquitos, we were unable to get a printout. We asked how long it would take to drive to the airport and they said two hours. This is substantially longer than the hour our driver told us it would take. We made a few phone calls had a couple panicky moments but our driver got there a little bit early and we got to the Cusco airport in plenty of time. Apparently the ladies at the desk must take a different route to get to the airport.  Why we were waiting for our driver we got to take a nice walk down along the river. It was very peaceful and just what we needed at that moment.
