Iquitos, Butterfly Farm Breakfast at the hotel then supermarket shopping for lunch before getting a motorbike taxi to the boat that would take us up the Ny river to Gudrun at the Butterfly Farm. WOW. Most of the adopted animals were there in the flesh which was really exciting. We played with the monkeys, or more to the point, they played with us. Tony Piranha is a master pick-pocket! All the monkeys had such incredible characters. I spent some time alone with Chica trying to capture a good photo. I have fallen in love with the Ocelot. The boat trip back went to the junction of the Ny and the Amazon – brown river meets white to look for the pink dolphins. Had a quick glimpse of fin and body at a distance. A brief look around the markets at the boat ramp before heading home for shower and dinner. A drink before dinner with Sara and Beck found us a friend in Daniel, one of the many salesmen scouting the Boulevard for trade of their handcrafts eager to please and offer all kinds of services.
