Day 239 | January 20

Finishing touches on some work and then off to the airport this morning. I started out making good time but then my Uber driver took me to the wrong terminal at the airport so I had to get him to fix that. Worth mentioning at this point that Uber is not legal in Colombia. So on the way to the second terminal we got stopped by the police… forever. Started to worry that I might not even make my flight but my limited Spanish was enough for me to confirm my drivers cover story so they finally let us go. From Bogota it’s a two hour flight to the tiny town of Leticia which is the southern most city in Colombia and sits right on the Amazon river. This is actually the intersection of three countries. Across the river is Peru and just a couple of blocks walk from my hotel is Brazil. I stayed at the Decameron Decalodge Ticuna which was nice and thankfully had air conditioning. Our first afternoon we didn’t do much. Settled into the hotel and then had dinner there.
