Hostal La Casona Iquitos

Today was a golfing day.I stepped out of my salubrious accomodation and was surrounded by a group of Moto-kar drivers, some of the thousands of Moto-kars that populate the street of Iquitos, after negotiating a price (15 soles) I set off through the town, through the suburbs and through the jungle until 30 minutes later I entered a golf course.... Unbelievable, cut out of the ...

... sleep on the boat anyway. Why not? We already paid for tickets, and that way we wouldn&#8217;t miss it if it left early. The boat cooks served a really good soup for supper. Some of the kitchen scraps got thrown overboard and out of nowhere about a thousand fish showed up, swarmed the food, and it all disappeared in seconds. We peered overboard, threw some ****** doughnuts that we bought to the fish, and unsuccessfully tried to get pictures of the fish swarm. <br ...

... and wondering two things... what were we getting ourselves into, and where was Bill?? <br>By 4 o´clock the boat had started to depart and Bill was still nowhere to be seen.

C'est agréable une soirée en français.

The movie is about a man who wants to bring opera to Iquitos during the rubber boom. Well, you can read more about the movie on Wikipedia and even see clips on YouTube...But during the filming, Werner Herzog and some of the stars of the film stayed at a house on the outskirts of Iquitos which ...

... We didn`t really because we just could sleep the previous night. Since then I have actually felt quite good and had moments of real elation, I would reccomend everyone to try this once in there lives, it is perfectly legal and natural, but be prepared for either a good or bad experience. All in all we saw 7 differnet types of monkeys, millions of birds, an anaconda, caimens, frogs, bugs, insects and spiders all in the wild. Back the Iquitos we had a well deserved shower counted ...

... eating right away. Children know how to find these natural incubators and open them up to get to the young parrots. These are then taken home as pets. Ricardo's assistant showed me one of those termites' nests and opened it up for me. No parrots inside, but in a moment, his hand and arm were covered in large, red termites. OMG! I thought; "How is he going to get all of those off his arm?" But he smiled and said; "They are great for ...
