Day 8 Float Plane

After lunch, our boat parked near a float plane.  In groups of four, we took a float plane ride (compliments of International Expeditions!) above the Confluence of the Marañón, Ucayali and Amazon rivers.  We had our second heavy (but short) rain - enough to soak our shoes - just dried out from yesterday's rain!  haha!  Not bad, considering we expected rain every day - and instead only had it twice briefly.  Even then it was at the end of both activities.
