After sleeping 4 hours and flying for 27, we’re now safely at our hotel in Lima. It’s a nice hotel targeted at business travelers. We chose it because it is so close to the airport; wandering around delirious from lack of sleep at 111PM seems like a bad idea. We will catch a taxi to a backpacker neighborhood tomorrow, pick up some last minute supplies (Imodium, batteries for head lamps, SIM card for the phone). Day after tomorrow, we fly to Tarapoto and start our journey into the rainforest. The Private Eye used her Spanish in the cab ride; when she explained to the female driver that she speaks a little and I don’t, the driver said that’s the best situation. 🙂

But now it is time to sleep.
