Saturday May 17th
All our problems for the last 4 weeks have been blamed on the altitude (well not last nights issues), but from today we are no longer able to use this excuse. Today we are back at sea level. It was a fairly OK drive as we are now on the PanAmerican highway. The drive was mostly through desert and wasteland until we came around a corner and saw the sea. At this point pretty much everybody on the bus cheered. Mind you it was a bit weird, as it was also a place where a tsunami wiped out a town.
We lunched by the sea and then continued on with the sea on one side, and desert on the other, to our campsite which was also by the sea. Literally. Our tents were no more than 10 metres from the sea, in a nice cove. There was a hotel nearby as well so we could get some beers.
That evening we had a bad taste party, basically where everyone is dressed up in bad taste by someone else. I had a sarong and frilly blouse bought for me, but it was too chilly to wear except over my tracksuit. We stayed up quite late partying around our campfire, and we were joined by some colleagues from another tour, an overland truck from Toucan tours going in the opposite direction.
