The main mission for our day was to get out of the danger zone! To help achieve this, we had another early morning start.
100km or so of bad road was the enemy, and we'd not even made it out of Campanilla village limits before a river crossing saw us whomp our chain right off, douse the electrics, and bugger up the clutch.
But we plugged away and gradually the roads the improved and we got ourselves to relative safety, the town of Juanji.
News was filtering through of another incident involving fellow competitors, but this time with non-fatal consequences, so we breathed a sigh of relief before pressing on to Tarapoto for our lunch.
Here we sampled the odd delecacy of a normal lunch accompanied by a giant peanut-butter/chickpea; the single most filling accompanyment of any I have ever tasted.
