We awoke to another beautiful morning. It had been a relatively event free night,
although the German fella was up most of the night heading to the toilet. Ann decided to give him some dymox and
electrolytes. This made him feel better
and he was back in form!
When we had breakfast we got back on the road. Today there were again numerous stops
including more lagoons and rock formations.
About mid morning we were heading along the dirt road at about 80
km/hour. I think we were racing the
other vehicle. Anyway all of a sudden we
stopped, we had a puncture. It was a good
one too. Not surprising however
considering the pace we were travelling and the rough terrain. This resulted in about a 20 minute wait. We did however have some pretty good views of
mountains while we waited.
We continued on, a bit more tentatively than before. More stops continued at various hot spots
with some spectacular views on offer.
Towards the end of the day, we suddenly stopped and our
guide decided to try and find some fruit.
I cant remember what they were called but they were quite bitter. The two guides spent about an hour trying to
find some of this fruit, and they succeeded.
In the meantime, the tour group were getting bored very quickly and were
happy to get back in the vehicle and on the road again.
About 5pm we arrived at our hostel. We were staying in a village called
Colpena. Very much Hicksville again!
There are only about 2000 people living here and the town is in the middle of
nowhere! We played some more cards and we had steak and red wine for dinner!
This was quite funny as during the day we were joking about having steak and
red wine for dinner, thinking that it would never happen. Once again the food on this trip has exceeded
expectations. The steak wasn’t the
greatest, and it was cooked to how Dad would like it (well done), but steak is
steak!!!Cordillera Travel company - http://www.cordilleratraveller.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
