• A day at Bella Vista Campsite

    January 12 in Chile ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    I woke up early when I heard rain on the tent.  I quickly got up to get the washing in.  Luckily, it was mostly dry.  Breakfast wasn't until 8.30am as we had nowhere to go and nothing to do.  Mark offered to make egg-fried rice with the leftover rice from last night.  It went down well and proved a point again!

    After breakfast, I went to find a spot in the communal area where I could charge up our electronics and start to catch up on posts and journal entries.  I didn't get too far, but I made a start!  I spent the whole day in there.  Mark ventured into town at one point in search of cold drinks.  He bought the only two cans of Coke Zero in the entire town.  He reported back that I hadn't missed anything by not going!  It appears that the town has little in the way of attractions if the Marble Caves are not accessible!

    For dinner this evening, the cook group prepared sausages, cheesy mash, and barbecue beans.  It was all very good.  There was plenty of mash left over.  I will use it to make potato cakes for breakfast then day after tomorrow.

    Mark was in a lot of pain, so he turned it in straight after dinner.  I sat in the communal area for a while chatting to Solenne, Rich, Derek, and Barbara about the ongoing saga that is the relationship between our leader and one of the passengers.
