Motorbike


So we arrived in Pucallpa today and it was not what we expected. It is really a big city. (200,000 people) It is the end of the line as far as the travel on the Ucayali River is concerned. The Ucayali is a headway to the Amazon. Meaning, past here there is only dugout canoes with outboard motors to take you farther. The town is filled with about 50,000 “motorbikes.” It’s a moped with 3 seats. The main mode of transportation. There are more of those than anything on the road. Its like slalom skiing. Hers is Nat and Jonesy getting a ride to the night game. Super fun!
