We walked back via the square and bumped into some English guy, he sort of stopped us and asked if we spoke English, we said yes, then he began telling us about some ayhuasca ceremony that he was going to have the next day and wondered if we fancied doing it. I was really up for it, I explained that the only reason I was there in the first place was to take the ceremony with a shaman near Iquitos for a week. It was going to cost me a fortune and he was offering the same thing for one night at about a tenth of the price. I thought about it, knew that Koen and Ludwig were up for doing it so I took his number and said I would call him later on to confirm. Got back to the hostel, caught up with the boys about an hour later, explained what was going on, the agreed of course, who wouldn't it would be the trip of a lifetime. I called up the English guy called Leon, he was a cool, guy from Yorkshire but had moved to Brighton, he still had a slight northern accent that I could detect but couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. When I spoke to him I had a little trouble getting through, I was in a call centre and the phone didn't seem to be working properly, I could hear him but he couldn't here me at all. I tried again and it worked fine, he was explaining some things over the phone then just said why not just meet up, it will be a lot easier to explain things in person plus he can get to meet us beforehand. He told us to meet him and some really expensive gringo restaurant called 'the yellow rose of Texas' the food looked good and the papaya juice was really nice but it was still a little on the pricey side. There was still about an hour or so to meet him so I cooked myself some pasta using a tomato sauce I had bought earlier on in the day called 'fanny'. It was actually really good, I made a good choice in that, fanny tastes very nice.
