    Day 278 - Returning to Lima

    February 3, 1975 in Peru

    The gas station owner knocked on our window early this morning and wanted to buy more stuff. We searched our belongings again and found three more clothing items to sell. He also wanted to buy our winch, shovel, and tow rope, but I decided to hold on to those, just in case.

    In Oroya, we purchased fresh vegetables and fruits, then climbed up to the high pass. Down the other side, we stopped by a brook and washed our dirty camper. Then we descended through the light fog into the valley that led back to Lima.

    By evening we were back in Miraflores at the Swiss Club. Another Swiss couple, Franzka and Rodger, had arrived there during our absence. We invited them for coffee and proudly showed off our souvenirs. We chatted together way into the night.
