Day 16

This morning we had breakfast after we packed our stuff. Breakfast was a bit better than the other days in the hostel, because we had a fried egg with it too! We took a mototaxi at 08:45 to the agency of the speedboat to pucallpa. Nobody told us we first had a two hour busride to Santa Rosa first, so we were a little bit surprised. From there we took a mototaxi to the harbour, where it luckily was easy to find our boat. We gave our backpacks to a guy who secured them on the roof of the boat and got to our seats. It was too hot, so we went outside and waited there for an hour. Eike got some cold beers and a cola for me. It is the hottest day so far, with 32 degrees, and we are sweating like pigs. When it was 13:00 the boat was leaving, so we got into the now full boat. Our seats were taken, and it turned out nobody had 'their' seats. We are not sitting together now., but it's ok. The boat is longer than a bus, and some seats are broken, but it has wifi and you can load your phone! It is now 00:00 here, but in the day time when we stop somewhere, a lot of people come into the boat to sell their food or drinks. They al shout really loud and they all want to make at least one round. They also all sell the same stuff 😅 when it got dark, the insects started to come in. We had some bugs, flying ants, cockroaches and many crickets flying against us. The moskitos luckily left when the light went out. Headphones is also not really a thing here, so 20 people are listening 20 different musics, and then some are watching funny videos or playing shooting games 😅 we can sit outside on a small piece in the front. There it is nice and cool, and we could watch the stars. They are so amazing without light pollution ❤️ we are now 11 hours on the boat, and on maybe a third of the route.Read more
