Starting the big trip in a few hours

Yesterday I took the speedboat from Iquitos to Tabatinga, at the tripple border of Peru, Colombia and Brasil. Checking out of Peru, crossing the Amazon, checking back in on the other side, changing money in Colombia, a multi-country day it was!
Then, going to the boat to buy my ticket and getting stuck in a tropical downpoor. Just like a waterfall and just when I was on a motorcycle taxi. Luckily I had a plastic bag to cover my cast!
This morning I went to buy a hammock and installed in on the boat. Now I just have some basic shopping to do, pack my bag and go to the boat which should depart in a few hours and arrive 4 to 5 days later in Manaus.
