On the way to Jorge Chavez Airport, Frank noticed that the taxi he was sitting in was moving at a snail's pace past the port city of Callao. He suddenly remembered that it was here that Thor Heyerdahl back in the forties had started his journey to Polynesia with the fleet Kon Tiki. He looked at the clock and realized that he still had over two hours until the plane to Texas was leaving Lima.
"Stop here," he said.
The driver, a small, bald man with a big mustache, turned around in his seat and asked, "Here?"
"Take me to La Punta," Frank said.
The taxi driver shook his head but took off to the right.
"Plaza Miguel Grau?" asked the driver.
Frank didn't know where he meant, but just nodded his head.
Ten minutes later, he was released into a place overlooking the sea.
