The main road north
to San Ignacio was far worse a condition that the one we had
travelled on yesterday. We were very glad we had taken the middle
route east. San Ignacio was a very friendly feeling town. The first
two gas stations we went to had no fuel to sell us. We sat by the lake
and had lunch. Next to buy a fan. We found a nice little contained 240v fan. Easy to store in locker. It is bigger than our 12v ones but
will see how it goes.
Got into the line
for fuel. John walked to the bank to get some cash and I inched
forward in the line. He arrived back when
we were next in line. Quite a conversation
to get diesel. Luckily a guy got out of his ute to help. He had some
English. The price was Bs9 but I said yes I know we pay more but
normally get for Bs6 finally settled on Bs5 so we filled up again.
Our next leg to the border was 180km’s. The road very straight with jungle on either side. It was dusk by the time we found a quarry up & off to one side that we could get off the road and a little hidden.
