Chilling in Iquitos

Overall this city has a feeling of a beach town, even tho there is no beach, only the Amazon river nearby.

The atmosphere is really relaxed. A lot of jewelry salemen, juice stands, and you spend a lot of time sitting around drinking juice and eating fresh fruit. To chill, we sometimes take a motorcycle taxi, because you finally get a breeze, and it's very refreshing.

As far from civilization as we are supposed to be, the club next door is still playing Rihanna, and the television shows the reality show "The most smartest model" (I guess I missed that one in the Western world). Today we ate alligator burgers

I don't think alligators are endangered species in this part of the world, so I decided to have me an alligator burger. Mmmmm, it's actually quite delicious.
If the law of karma applies, then we should be eaten by the alligators tomorrow. We're all ready for our jungle trip.
