We woke up around 8:30 to make it to the Cabana Quinta’s breakfast that ends at 9:00. It’s crazy to think, but 8:30 is over an hour later than we have been waking up for the past week, so I guess you could consider it sleeping in. The effects of El Friaje are coming to an end, which led to amazing weather today: ~70 with a light breeze, blue skies with intermittent clouds, and warm sunshine. After checking out of the hotel, we gathered our fresh and great smelling laundry that most of us had cleaned at a full-service laundromat nearby and headed to the markets to buy any last-minute snacks / souvenirs. Afterwards, we all finally went to a ceviche restaurant! I got ceviche and fried rice, both of which were amazing. Once we finished our meal we went to the port to head back to Panthera and had a seamless trip back (infinitely better than the stormy ride to Puerto Maldonado. We spent the rest of the night doing our usual activities of playing games, reading, and enjoying the nice evening weather.
