The hugs of the world

Day 287, Peru, Rio Amazonas

I do not really know how, but I landed in Peru and walked around in a Brazil with my passport that has still and only one valid Visa and that is the Visa of Colombia. But that is how it works here in the corner of where the three countries come together in the Amazons. The Colombian part is apparently clean, while the Brazilian and Peru side is used for huge drugs trafficking. In fact there is no police presence in the last two countries. I booked a tour and joined some Colombians from Cali and without really knowing I landed in Peru. I sleep in a simple indigenous wooden house and the whole family is looking for me. I took a bath in the Rio Amazon and am enjoying the wonderful diversity of the nature. However my heart got stuck in the cities and the people of the last weeks. Colombians are special and lovely people, I will miss them for sure. The Cali people feel sad and sorry that I didn't like too much their city and had to get in touch with the gangsters. They try to convince me at it is a lovely city, I have to go back.
