A day in Futaleufu

We hadn't planned any activities for today. It was just going to be, hopefully, my final day of rest and recuperation.

We didn't eat truck breakfast this morning. Instead, we walked up into the town of Futaleufu and had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich and a cup of coffee. I couldn't finish it, but it felt good to eat 'normal' food!

Mark was on cook group today, so we were shopping for that. We had to go into every shop in town to get what he needed. There was very little fresh stuff to be had, so we were forced to improvise. He was cooking chicken fried rice. We could only get frozen chicken. We just had to go with it and get it defrosted back at the campsite. There was little to detain us in the town, so we headed back to site.

Once there, Mark started his prep and I did some work on the laptop for the first time in over a week. I sat on the truck as it was too windy outside. I managed to get more apps installed on Mark's phone, and did some posts - I'm still a couple of weeks behind, though!

As you would expect, Mark was doing really well on his own. Unfortunately, his cook group members returned from town drunk and deliberately sabotaged his dish! They added far too much soy sauce and turned the fried rice into an unrecognisable mess! Needless to say, he was upset! I just find it hard to believe that grown adults can behave like children and ruin things for the whole group just because they think it's funny!!Read more
