Captains log day 93, no idea where we are but 6 hrs drive away from Caramulo. It's HOT! over 40 degrees, we are now getting a little more able to cope but all have "fangio forearms" as we have affectionately called our sunburnt right arms from hanging them out over the side of the car.

Ian had one issue where his off side shoe had a blow out and he suffered from a detached sole which made him less able to walk in a straight line. Or it might have been the beer.

I picked up a couple of huge pine cones while at a pee stop in the forest, the have become even larger in the back of the car, it's the first time I've suffered from swollen cones from the heat and the others have offered little sympathy.

Service here is really slow, the checkout from the caramulo hotel this morning took so long I thought they were trying to get another night out of us, and we have taken to sending Ian in for a beer order as soon as we arrive now which works better.

anyway, more updates to follow and some great pics of caramulo.
