We got a very nice hotel San Isidro with hot water and a little man who wanted to carry our bags. No fleas or anything!
In the morning we took a short flight to Iquitos which is a small town in the middle of the jungle that can only be accessed by air or the Amazon River. It puts a whole new level in the chicken bus category. The plane we landed on was carrying crates of baby chicks and the buses were stacked high up to the sky with every sort of provision imaginable. And, it is hot.
Our guide was there to meet us with a ¨Claire Jonas" sign. (Twice in one life time....prompt JN,FA!) and shepherded us nicely around the town and onto the river. It took about an hour full throttle up the Amazon to reach our lodge. It was dark. Very dark. The boat very fast, and the water alarming close to the top of the boat. Even the chickens were worried!

After a welcome drink I have never tasted the flavor of before we were shown to our room.
