Leaving the Amazon jungle wasn't quite as easy as getting in. They overbooked the 12-seater plane (!!) and there was only 1 space for 2 of us. So Toria got on ... she is actually flying home for a week to do a PhD funding interview (which she got !! ... she's now a Fellow of the Royal Exhibition 1851 ... very plush). So I ended up having to get a river boat and do a night drive through the jungle (this ranks as one of the most dangerous things I have ever done ... won't be repeating it in a hurry)
Anyway, I made it back to Cuzco & made my morning flight to Chile.
I flew straight onwards South to Punta Arenas, right in the South of Chilean Patagonia. Not so far from Cape Horn, but that's only possible to get to by boat.
Quite a temperature change ... from Jungle humidity to biting Patagonia winds in less than 2 days ... its only 18 degC around here.
