We all went to the restaurant to meet Leon, he was sitting in the square waiting for us, he was with his girlfriend and daughter, they were both going to come, obviously the daughter wasn't going to take part. He explained everything to us, what we needed, what we could eat, when we were leaving, where we were going etc...
This chat got us all really excited about it, the ceremony sounded really good, rather than just being a drug binge on a really powerful hallucinogenic, it was more of a spiritual affair, an ancient practise of the tribal communities in the Amazon. It all sounded really cool, a hut in the middle of the jungle, a river side hut at that with canoes. We were going to spend the whole day at the hut, on the river and around the local area. We had to be up really early though, we were planning to leave around 8.00am from Iquitos and head to the hut about three hours into the jungle. We had an early night, didn't eat meat or drink alcohol even though I had been doing this for over a week, Ludwig and Koen had just started for about twenty four hours.
