Day 38 Ayacucho to Abra Huamina Bushcamp

Sunday 12th September and as you can imagine after the burglary I did not sleep very well and was not really in the mood for cycling! The weather was fine and warm but we were off road for almost all of the day. I have to admit that the 40K uphill to lunch took me 5 hours!! I was close to giving up, but one of the others rode with me for the last 10K and would not let me abandon. After lunch I felt a bit better and made myself get on with the job. I got to the finish and was pleased I had gone on. Some of the guys had pitched my tent for me and I was really qrateful for that. Our dinner was accompanied by a thuderstorm which was fun! We were over 4000 metres and it was getting very cold so after dinner almost everyone took to their tents to get warm. The end of the day and I was glad to get to bed!
