Drove into
Indepencia. Gum trees are becoming more common.
Bought a SIM card
but diesel wasn’t available.
A new church being built. Quite innovative in design

Bought some mandarins, asked for 6 got 6Bs worth, about 12. Lots of farm land and
growth in general is increasing.
Could see the
bridge or what was let of it just the pylons marching across the
river. We hope there would be a way across. The road diverted and
became a very small track. Got to the river and a couple of families
were having a picnic popcorn and corn. John walked across the stream
where the guys told us to and all good. Chatted to them about Australia. One of the kids new what the kangaroo was.
We went up the adjoining river a bit and did our washing in running water. A bit
concerned on letting the clothes go.
The new section of
road up was very narrow with few places to pass. And we were on
the outside…..
We stayed on the
outside most of the way up.
Stopped a tourist
on a cycle, yes there are madder people than us! She was from the
states and her husband a little in front. We told her we’d stop him
for her to catch up. Any way we did stop Andreus who was very low on
disc pads so we offered them a ride.
Put one bike inside
and one on the spares tyres on back.
At Licoma the police stopped us. I went inside to fill out the book. Name,
nationality, number plate, and number of people. Andreus and Michelle
became Aussies….
We camp next to the
old basket ball
court.
Guy came to move us one but then said we could stay when we said we’d be gone in the morning. He then signalled to John who took him a beer. The caretaker had unlocked the toilet and shower for us.
