Had breakfast in the
house with Marie family and students. We wondered up town to the
markets to try to find a hat for JG. Didn’t find what we were
looking for but found a hat and a little cap and Jumper for Greg and
Lisa’s baby. Spent some time in EC waiting for Maria. Finally John
went to get out laundry off the line and woke Maria.
Got Johns glasses and said our goodbye’s. Headed out of town rather late… SE towards Puquina.
We had trouble getting on high way, the entry ramp had road works on it. So rather a long way round to join up with highway. Then a road block where we watched a policeman try to get a big truck around a very tight corner with cars and bikes getting in the way. The truckie gave up and parked, I guess he will wait till the road reopens.
I think the witch directed us on the wrong road, as after 2hrs of very rough road, we joined onto a sealed road, what a relief. On dusk we turned onto a side road along a ridge and camped near a aqua duct.
64km today.
