Peru - Wednesday 21 October 1998
3 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the time we wake up. We have to, because our plane to Cusco leaves at 7.30. So we have to be in Puerto Maldonado at about 6.30 and it takes a 2,5 hours drive down the river. Therefore, we leave at 4 AM from our lodge.

It's quite cosy to sit in our boat together at this time. I think it's easier for me than for others: in my ordinary life, I wake up at the same time to go to my work.
Back in Cusco we have an easy day. I visit an internet-cafe down the main road. It feels good to have tome time to write some letters to my friends. On the news-site of the Radio NetherlandsI read that he war in Kosovo didn't break out yet. The politicians have found a solution finally.
