Day 14: Friday 9th


 Some plants/flowers from the jungle - so pretty!
 Also so many beautiful butterflies.

 Awesome pineapple plant  - I hadn't seen one before - very exciting
Today we left the lodge at 7.30am and again took the 2 hour boat ride, 1 hour bus ride and then the 2 hr flight, as we where going back to Lima, which meant the plane stopped in Cusco but we stayed on as more people where picked up!  It was quite like a bus really!  We got a transfer back to the hotel; well the bus broke down in the parking lot so we got a transfer with another group of Gap travellers.  We go to their hotel there was quite a scene as the bus blocked the road whilst the people got off.  Angry locals hit the bus whilst the English tourist yelled at our tour guide to get the bus boot open so they could get their luggage off.  Finally we after a long time of this the driver went 20 seconds up the road so he could get the bus door open around the parked cars!  So entertaining though!  From leaving at 7.30am we made it to the hotel in Lima at 5pm!  We had a few hours re-packing as we leave tomorrow before we headed out for our last meal in Lima.  A nice meal was had then a visit to a local pub where disgusting beer and sangria was had before we headed home.
