After a quick dip in the pool, we went off to get some lunch, sort some stuff out in town, like getting money out of the bank, Brian needed to sort out a flight to Lima as he was going to go with the rest of them towards Cusco and do Machu Picchu. We ate some set menu, I had some fried fish, with rice and a fried banana, the rest had their different dishes, the food was served with some sort of fruit juice, don't know what it was but it was actually quite nice, even though it was the most expensive meal I had in Peru, it was still only about $7 Soles. Brian had Mayta call the tour guide about the Machu Picchu trip to see if there was any space for him, the guide said to call back in another ten minutes or so. We went off because I needed to enquire about the speed boat trip to Leticia, Colombia that I was going to get eventually. The ticket offices were quite far away but on the way we past a stand that had some fruit juice, the fruit was strange, it looked like a lychee on the outside but inside was yellow and hard and had a big pip. The fruit tasted horrible but the juice was lovely, it was like dulce de leche, like a sort of caramel milkshake. Anyway, the ticket offices all had pretty much the same prices and had lots of availability so I didn't need to rush into booking anything just yet.
