Bushcamp - Meteoor crater ... what a day !!
Hola !!
Woke up this morning with lots of clouds, there was not much wind, and we packed our stuff. In the beginning the wind was in the back. After about 10 kilometers the road begin to be unpaved, and it probably would be like this for the rest of the day. They are busy with road construction 2 years ago, but that is no guarantee that it is already finished. After a small climb into the village Quillacas, where there was nothing to do or see, just a pile of dust and a bad steep road going into town, I lost the rest of the group, the fast guys are faster climbers then I am, and I was not sure where to go. The instructions were not very clear, mainly because the infrastructure has been changed, and I had to make a discission where to go. Nobody in sight, only a empty long troad that dissappeared at the horizon. After a few kilometers I spotted some locals, and asked them if they had seen some gringos con biciclettas, Si Si Si was their answer, so I knew I was on the right road and going the right direction. The wind started to pick up, and after lunch we ended up in a sandstorm. Not really nice, but part of the game, and challange. Unpaved, washboard roads, loose sand on the road, impossible to cycle, and the strong wind that was pushing sand in your mouth, ears nose and eyes. Finally I reached Bushcamp next to a church and the Meteoor crater, and I was happy that I made it there. What seemed tro be a nice quiet trip, resulted in a nice windy and dusty challange that day. Ewald managed to squieeze through a little window to open the church, so we could sit inside and have dinner without the cold wind that was gusting over the Alti Plano. It has been a nice, but a verytough day ...
Happy that we arrived at the bushcamp at the Meteoor Crater
