Have you ever wanted to share something with a certain group of people you know??
Well, it seems, since my travels around Peru, in 2005, I’ve yet to find a perfect solution for this dilemma… Back then, I was travelling around Peru, and wanted to share some of the more personal stories, with select groups of […]
It seems that the modern world is no less susceptible to water outages, as the rest of the world. Having experienced firsthand, water being cut in India, Pakistan, and hearing stories of it running out in Saudi Arabia, I thought at least here in the UK, we don’t have to worry about the water being […]
So since the last post.. a lot has happened…
Originally upon returning to Iquitos, I had plans to go to Brazil. On Tuesday morning, I knew exactly how I would travel, and where I would go, and Wednesday morning, I was getting ready to leave.
How naive I was… Before leaving Iquitos, I wanted to […]
It seems I spend too much of my time online writing my blog, and so I’ve decided I’m going to try to be a little more efficient for now!
That said, my journey down the Mazan was wonderful… As you can tell I’ve returned from the river, and as far as I can tell, I’m still […]
Get woken up early to speak with a man who owns a motor. Pay him 70 soles, since he needs to pay the mechanic 50 soles to get his motor back, and give him 20 soles as a deposit.

After […]
Evening of the 7th of July, it turns out that I spent too long on the Internet, updating my blog to be able to get out of Iquitos in the evening, and reach Mazan.
Instead I ended up finding a hotel for the night - 10 Soles, good deal.
On the morning of the 8th of July, […]

So on the morning of the 4th, we wake up, and decide to get breakfast on the way to the federal office where we can get our visas into Brazil.
Getting lost on the way to the Federal office, we eventually, end up buying some juices, before arriving at Immigrations, where the Austrians gain their entry […]
So we arrive in Santa Rosa at about 11am, and get our ‘exit’ visa´s for Peru. Then we get a water boat taxi to take us to Brazil - to Tabatinga. There we don’t find any immigration waiting for us to enter, and so we end up, after getting a few drinks of beer […]
