Friday, September 30 - The rain comes down in torrents on our way back downriver. When we put flaps down on the sides of the boat, the driver can't see where he is going. We hunker under ponchos, but we still get windblown and wet. Nevermind, somehow it seems funny and we laugh all the way. Back to Lima just long enough for a farewell dinner with our fellow travellers. Manuel arranges taxis and chooses a Chifa restaurant. Chifa is Peruvian-style Chinese cuisine, very popular to the locals. It seems very similar to Chinese/Canadian food. A surprising side effect is that the generous quantity of MSG together with a small? amount of alchohol results later in a good sleep on the flight home.I would have liked one more day in Lima, but I am also ready to go home. We've shared some great moments with our new friends and we are sad to say goodbye, but we promise to stay in touch and Duncan promises to set up an FTP sight so that we can share photos. Peter and I decide that our next trip will be to the UK to stay with Alice. I don't think she really believes us. Just wait and see, Alice. Better get the spare room ready. The Crazy Canadians are coming to visit.
