Back across the Andes

Once again, I was awake long before my 6.15am alarm, so we were able to sort ourselves out and get out of the dorm before anyone else was awake. 

Breakfast was from 7am (we pre-ordered last night) and we were on the truck and away by 8am, ready for another full driving day, but with our fingers crossed that it wouldn't be as long as the other day!

We had our first coffee stop quite early on as Ritchie said the opportunities would be fewer as we drove on.
