Tarapoto

This was totally crazy day. First we went to the police station in Yurimaguas to get paper confirming that Jan’s camera was really stolen. For one hour we were explaining how it had happened and who are we (even after we showed our passports). Finally he printed out some paper and told us to wait. It took them another hour to explain us we needed to pay for that print out. But as they couldn’t receive that money from us directly Jan had spent hour in a bank. Then we were waiting another hour while other officer was retyping the printout on his typewriter. Crazy?

It is better not to loose anything here, cos then you will loose at least half a day to deal with police!

Now we needed get to Tarapoto. We found out that the road between is under construction and we had to wait until 7 o’clock, as the road is closed everyday from 6 AM. Buses are going only on Sundays, but what you have other mean of transport for? We could choose from taxis, pick-ups or small buses. As pick-ups and micro buses are taking far to many people (not to mention chickens, cows and everything else that they were designed for. We bargained a bit and negotiated 20S/. per person in hardly going, old taxi
