Our friendly truckie beeped us on his way passed this morning at 7.30

We decided on a loop south back toward La Sarena and hopefully an early camp. 

The road took us up to nearly 1000 m and into the fog. We did get up above it but back into it on the downward leg.

Found a sign which indicated that a further road that we would not travel on would be closed, which was fine. Another 20 km and we got to a road closed sign. John got out to chat to a farmer to ask if road was open. John got the impression we could get through to where we needed to get.

Well the road looked like it was being worked on and had been widened in areas. We found the digger which was having a weekends rest. We found the road closed sign from the other end which indicated "to our Spanish", that the road was closed 24km behind us!! Found an early camp just south of La Sarena with Internet.

I booked us into a hotel for tomorrow night while John read board papers. John will need good Internet for the board conference call tomorrow night.

Finally feeling trust towards the workings of the stove so we siliconed it down holding it in place with the leveling blocks and a rock of which there are hundreds to choose from.
