| Iquitos and Amazonian Jungle 28 February - 6 March | |
|
Of the three Pervian eco-systems, coastal dessert, mountains and jungle, we had not experienced the jungle in our time in Peru. We decided to spend some time in the Amazonian Jungle at a lodge near to the City of Iquitos.

Party at Reinhards House
Staff from the Centre organised an informal farewell party for David and
Cathy at Rheinhard's house. A fun evening in true Peruvian style with
lots of eating and dancing was had by all. |

Meal at Chala in Barranco Our favorite restaurant, Chala, hosted our last farewell gathering with friends from CIP and beyond. A fine evening, soaking up the bohemian Barranco atmosphere and sampling the fine food with friends who had been such an important part of our year away was a great way to end our time in Lima.

Back to the UK 13 March
Well the year is finally over. Ha sido
un gran año en el Perú para Cathy y David. Durante el año hemos aprendido
muchas cosas sobre el Perú y la cultura del pueblo peruano. Cuando
estábamos en el Colca nos dijeron sobre los tres elementos fundamentales
de la forma de vida andina -- Peru - thank you and we will be back. |
