Some last boat photos

Early in the morning we stopped at a place called Nauta. I woke up and took these dawn photos. Not sure if I expected it or not, but this is what a jungle town looks like.

A petrol key, naturally

Sunrise

Lots of locals got off at Nauta, preferring to make the rest of the journey to Iquitos over land - there is a road apparently, we had no idea about this though. Must be a faster way of getting there though because the boat was practically empty afterwards.

Market, mud, people

I like the type on the life jackets, they were strung over our hammocks and crawling with spiders. I hate spiders! Had trouble sleeping the first night, worrying that one might land one my whilst I was unconscious. Hammock intervened and soon worked on the insomnia bought about by the worry

Hammocks, mosquito nets, this was our boat dorm room. 

And at last IQUITOS

Love the big boats, they look like wonky floating houses, their flat bottoms, they move like slabs in the water unlike their ocean going counterparts who have to cut through waves and swell.

Seriously cool looking boats - I wonder how old they are..
