Well another rest day nearly over! The weather this morning was good, breakfast in the sunshine. Later it was coffee in the sunshine, we know how to live on this trip!! Bike cleaning duties followed and most of our bikes looked almost new again, but the clouds were gathering as we had our lunch. A few spots of rain turned to showers later and by dinner tonight it was full on rain. We are all just hoping it passes through overnight as the thought of climbing up to a bushcamp at 4200 metres tomorrow is not pleasing us! The day after we leave bushcamp for the biggest climb of the trip at 4800 metres. The temperature overnight at bushcamp is likely to be below zero, so climbing another 600 metres after that is not a great prospect. Anyway, we all signed up for this but the reality is not always what you expected from the holiday brochure you looked at before, why do they always have sunny pictures??
So apart from catching up with computer stuff the day was spent relaxing, and we shall see what the morning brings - watch this space for news in a couple of days!
The Andes Trail
The Route
Just been down to the cycling club - they are all following your blog. Joyce thought that the tunnels looked awful and was thinking about you squashed up against the wall! Everyone sends their good wishes - and I am encouraging them to comment on-line. Avril xx
