Day 15 - off to the jungle, the Amazon is waiting and our visa run

After a somewhat decent sleep 💤 and still a cold shower, we took a look at the place here in Bogota during daylight - not bad! We ventured out to have breakfast a few houses down. Everything is bright and colorful and no more police buses patrolling the streets nonstop. We'll be back in Bogota for 3 or 4 nights, then we'll take a closer look.

Called an Uber and off to the "El Dorado" airport. Today we're heading to the Amazon region, right to the tri-border area of Colombia 🇨🇴 Brazil 🇧🇷 Peru 🇵🇪. Tomorrow we start a 3-day Amazon tour, hopefully very exciting.

Turns out we're flying business class here at the airport. Uuups ... looks like I pressed the wrong button when booking 😜.

Anyway, the whole program with lounge, all kinds of drinks, sandwiches, fruit 🍉, and nuts was included. After yesterday, we definitely deserved that.

Landing in Leticia. We were picked up by the organizer of our Amazon tour. We paid him and tried on rubber boots - the rest of the instructions regarding snakes, spiders, piranhas, etc. will come tomorrow - maybe 😜.

After that, we had to do a so-called visa run. The tour was planned for this date because Julia's student visa expires. A bit complicated to explain, but we (Julia) needed a few stamps - entry, exit, and so on.

So officially leaving Colombia - lots of stamps in our passports, then crossing the Amazon by boat to Peru. From there, we took a tuk-tuk to the official immigration office of Peru. Actually unimaginable - a somewhat decent house among wooden shacks - and in the thickest mud. There we entered Peru for a maximum of 10 days - officially with a tourist visa. The whole thing (tuk-tuk, boat) back, only entered Colombia without a stamp. So we are currently in Colombia illegally. I know none of you will understand this, but we feel like James Bond 💪👊.

It's brutally hot and humid here, we're sticking all over our bodies again. I'm already looking forward to 3 days of wearing rubber boots - phew 😅.

By the way, the town of Leticia is bigger than expected and it feels like there are 4 mopeds per resident. But apart from the jungle, there's actually nothing here - everyone probably makes a living somehow from border traffic. We are here at the southernmost point of Colombia. By the way, you don't even have to take a boat to Brazil. You can walk to the border town of Tabatinga, just for a beer. And why do the stupid Adamis go to Peru for the stamps? Because we did some research and apparently the Brazilians sometimes ask some "unpleasant" questions.

So friends, tomorrow morning at 6 am we're leaving. You probably won't hear from us until Santa Claus 🎅 - damn bad network coverage here. But everything will be updated - promised.
