48 hours ago I was sat watching the Amazon rainforest fly bye on the speed boat destined for Iquitos thinking back to when I used to dream about the place as a teenager. It’s almost exactly how I imagined it, the river is huge and brown, tree line varied and never the same and although I can’t hear it now the sounds are deafening. I was leaving and the moment of reflection was poinient.

43 hours ago we ha arrived at a local bar in Iquitos to grab something to eat and for a drink to celebrate completing 2 weeks volunteering for amazon cares. Not wanting to stay out late due to our long days of travelling ahead we tried to only stay for a couple of drinks. Finally hitting the pillow at 4 in the morning we where grossly unsuccessful.

36 hours ago we said our farewells to 48 hours of change, The journey from Peru to Ecuador
