Return to Civilization - Day of Travel

It took us the entire day - 11am to 11pm - to get ourselves out of the rainforest and on to our next destination, Chiclayo.

Packing was more difficult than usual this morning, primarily due to the dampness of our luggage contents.

I spent a portion of the morning just trying to dry out my hat.  Btw, notice the "fire extinguisher" under the sink...

Stopped at Inkaterra's Butterfly Garden on the way out of Puerto Maldonado:

Think the netting that was keeping the butterflies in was also working to keep the mosquitos out, so that was a plus haha

Flight to flight to flight finally resulted in our arrival to Chiclayo, four hours later than initially planned.  Highlights of trip:
- I tried two things for the first time, Papa John's pizza and Inca Kola (a Peruvian soft drink) which tasted medicinal and looked like toxic urine.  Papa John's wasn't much of a winner either, especially since they insisted Mom put her passport number on the credit card receipt.  You can guess who won that battle...

That's it.  Next two days are gonna be C-R-A-Z-Y... sleep in tomorrow until 7:45am... gotta get to bed now seeing as how it is about 1am...

nighty nite!
