Huancayo to Bushcamp La Esmaralda
¡Hola!
After a great night of sleep, I woke up at 5 in the morning. After some turning, I decided to go out of bed and take a shower, finally it was nice and warm, so that wasa good start of the day!! Internet was still ok in the hotel, so updated the website ... I am still way behind and trying to keep it updated, but the last couple of weeks I was to lazy and sick to do it. Today we decided to leave at 10, because the tire of the truck needs to be changed. Many of us left already at 9, so we could take it easy to goto lunch. First we started with a bit of a downhill, and after 10 kilometers we started a climb of about 20 kilometers. Total ascent was about 600 meters, so it wasn´t a steep climb, but steady going up. Arrived at the top we had lunch in a little nice village, where a market was going on. People were looking at us if we were coming from Mars, because we were wearing the cycle trousers, and they are not used to that in this little village. After lunch, which was located at a very nice old bridge, thanks to Didier and Filip, we headed to Bushcamp. This means that we had to go off-road for about 30 kilometers, before we reached camp. Off-roaf was pretty ok, road was paved with gravel, but there were many places without holes, so that we could reach a speed of about 20 km per hour. After some serious bumping and jumping, I reached camp, and put op my tent. The weather is still good, but there are sandflies all over this place, so cover all the arms and legs, and use DEET for the rest of the bare skin... tonight I hope we are having a nice dinner and that we can sleep well. We will see ... anyway I had a great day, good weather and a nice ride !! Tomorrow it will also be like this, so hopefully we can keep it dry and keep the tires inflated !!
Adios !!
