Mundo Pueblito – Rafael’s Place I was a bit unsure about having a rest day here. It had obviously been smarter and was now a bit neglected and unfinished. However, after Rafael gave us the keys to his house so that we could use the shower and toilet and could…
Rising to another fine day it’s a relaxed pack up. The communal toilets have the caretakers, a family camped outside the entrance in their tent and they are busy ensuring the facilities are clean and operating. My guess is they have adopted the task as a source of income. They…
Morning Tasks It was a shame to leave Don Ari Camping. It was a restful place with lovely people in charge. When we left I received kisses on both cheeks from the couple running it. Brazilians are super friendly people. As Dennis explained yesterday, it was such an odd border,…
Well, we got through another night without being disturbed. It’s always a bit of a lottery when you camp in public areas. Another hot night, 33degC and 70% humidity, with both the internal fan and aircon unit going, which had the desired effect. The full mosquito net keeping the little…
Leaving Camping Caprichio We needed to retrace our steps for 26 kms to get back to the main road, Ruta 8. We were about half way down the narrow gravel track, when a young lady who had been sitting by the track side, jumped up and flagged us down looking…
Our camp last night was under trees on a small piece of dirt but the night was cooler and we were out like a light by 9pm. Neighbours were still chatting away quite close to us at 1.30am. Saturday nights are a lottery regarding peaceful camping but families chatting and…
Camping Punta Ballena This was a huge campsite with all the facilities we tend not to use, such as a restaurant and swimming pool, so it was expensive. It was also close to a busy road. We had hoped it would be suitable to have a rest day, but decided…
Some more pics from yesterday. Not quite avoiding a drenching. I have to say it’s a crappy campsite, but had great showers. Deciding to get up early for us, around 7.15 am, to the sound of thunder not too far away. There had been the occasional light showers during the…
The Pencil Museum We were up early soon after 7am. It was already warm and going to be a very hot day. This was not a normal campsite. It was a bit of a mish-mash. A pencil museum, if you can believe there could be such a thing, a small…
Last night!! 10pm into bed. 2am still awake, a young guy entertained us with a monotonous series of reverberating base noises from a Boom-Box in his car, maybe 100m away. A virtuoso performance of mind numbing repetition and simplicity. At about 2am he must have decided someone else would appreciate…
