Contrasts in Camping
Since last time, we´ve been to Lima, travelled further on down the coast and I´m now writing this in Nasca, waiting for the world rally championship to go through so the road can open again.
Lima was OK. We stayed in reasonable hostal in Miraflores; the posh part of Lima. Good nights out and all, but it´s just another city. The next day we headed south to take a boat trip to the Ballestras Islands. Saw loads of sea lions, birds, penguins etc. Bit choppy on the water. We then went into a coastal national park and free camped on the beach (see piccie).
This is what group overlanding is all about. If you were doing this sort of thing on your own, the hassle and time required to book and travel to these sort of locations would be a right pain. As it was, we just rolled up, unpacked the cooking gear and had a barbie of chicken in lime and sausages, with pepper and onion melange on the side, with garlic bread from the oven of course (yes, I´m still eating well).
Top location so far, although I´m assured it gets better.
Three weeks gone in no time at all. I knew it would go quickly, but not this fast. Better get down to some serious enjoyment soon.
