Montevideo to Puerto Sauce.
12/10/10 16:45 Filed in: Uruguay
I slept for most of the overnight flight from Miami.
Passing over Montevideo on our approach to Carracas airport.
Almost down.
An Iberia Airbus landing at the same time as us and the new Carracas terminal.
Our AA Boeing on the gate.
Carracas is not a large airport and with two big jets landing the volume of passengers overwhelmed them. Arrivals are fed down an escalator into the immigration hall which quickly filled but the escalator kept feeding in more passengers and things started to look dodgy until someone stopped the escalator.
After a longish wait at immigration I was cleared through and caught a city bus to Tres Cruces coach station where, after a couple of hours I caught my coach to Puerto Sauce.
Back on board all was well and I got on with preparing for departure.
