Report by Trudy
This morning Monica made breakfast for us. It was very good and tasteful and so had Jessica free of making breakfast for our group. After breakfast Benno and Thecla went to the hospital and Dirk and I put al our luggage in the Land Rover and the Model T.
It is time to depart. The workers of the SOS village took a lot of pictures and we leave and became a lot of big kisses. We had a wonderful time in the village with the lovely people and the children we met. Jessica thanks for your special service and everybody thanks for the beautiful days.
Marcelino, the director of the SOS village, was arrived early this morning from a meeting in Lima, to say goodbye and he drove with Dirk in the Model T to lead us out of the city.

At 5 PM we stop and find a nice place to make our camp.
Benno and Thecla sleep again outside in the open field.
We hope that it will not be that cold this night.
