John was up and about early thinking it was such a warm sunny
morning. He was surprised when I informed him it was -3.
A beautiful day so
we stayed and did all our washing, including sheets and doona cover.
It was all dry by 2pm so we headed off for Puna.
We had driven about
40km’s and were in a small town when there was a sudden “bang”.
We pulled to the nice flat, wide, sealed kerb and got out. Yep we had
blown the side out of the tyre. The back left so our decision has
been made for us.
Just along the road
10 metres was a guy with old tyres outside his shop. I went along to
ask him if he could put the tyre on the wheel. No problems AU$8. He did
that while we put the old spare on.
Just about the most convenient place for a flat…..
So now no more tyre
inside; two new spares on the back.
Got to Puno just
before dusk, very busy little town. Finally found a camp on top of a
hill overlooking the floating islands.
