Once on mainland we went straight for the hostel, quickly saying our goodbyes to Leon, Lauren and daughter Kucy. Everybody was still at the hostel, Brian was out checking the scores of some hockey game, Mayta and David were chilling in the room and in my old bed was a new person, a Swiss girl named Isabel. I paid close attention to my visions and shaved my beard as soon as I had the chance to. My shave took me a while, well, a very long time and a brand new disposable razor. I felt like I was a child again, my face felt so naked and wet, my skin was finally free to be in full contact with the air, it was a good feeling. I say I shaved, I only managed to get through either side of my face, I still had a goatee. After my pretty lame attempt at a shave it was time for the guys to leave, they were off to the airport to get a flight to Lima, get a bus to Cusco and do Machu Picchu. We all said our goodbyes, exchanged contact details, then they were off. I had a few errands to run, I had to buy my ticket to Letica via a speed boat, also most of my clean clothes were now filthy as I had used some of them in the jungle and had fallen in the river. I dropped my stuff off at the lavanderia then went on my way to the ticket shop to buy my ticket, as soon as I got to the main square I realized I has left all my money at the hostel, I had to walk all the seven or so blocks back there, get my money and head back to the ticket shop. I couldn't be bothered to walk all the way so I got a tuk tuk there, paid my $50 US for the ticket, for tomorrow morning, the flyer said they only went Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, but once I was there they had tickets for every day. On my way back I stopped off at a internet café just to check emails and the like.
