Had one last nights sleep on the cow boat and it turns out we are only an hour away from Atalaya our destination to get the next boat. Be glad to get off this one thats for sure.
Upon arrival to Atalaya get a small hostal near the port and settle in here until the next boat to Pucallpa, see how long it takes.
It a quiet town and I am loving the food after the scary cow boat food, there is loads of chinese and juanes typical food from the jungle, what I am struggling with is the fact that the only coffee I can get is nescafe.
A lot of time in this village is spent watching movies in the funniest little private rooms where each TV is competing for the sound and a lot of time playing Nintendo for 2 soles per hour. Excellent vacations.
Also went to a place to swim in the river simple called el Pozo where I had the opportunity to see 5 different hummingbirds, a very pleasant little town for chilling out.
After a few days here its on to the next boat the Atlas II about the same size as the last one but not full of cows, only 6 to be exact.
