After our tenth night in a row sleeping in our tent, it was time to let everything get some fresh air! We are really wondering how long we will be able to continue this camping spree, because we have been sleeping really well in the tent the last nights. Only if it starts raining somewhere we may opt for a room again – or if we don’t find a campground.
We met up with the people from Dragoman on the campground. They are a group of 20 people travelling in a truck and camping wherever possible. You can buy a ticket to join them and hop on and off where you want. They told us about mummies nearby, and as it’s Halloween we let our dark side take over! We reached the necropolis of Chauchilla and wandered through the desert looking at skeletons!
We continued our drive along the Panamerican Highway south. The best driving directions we have received so far is “as long as you keep the ocean to your right hand side, you are going the right way”. We parked Rodrigo on the beach at Puerto Inca – the ancient port used by the Incas. The Dragoman group stopped there as well, so we joined them for a game of volleyball and we grilled our sausages on their barbecue. We went to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach!
Do you want to go to the seaside?
I’m not trying to say that everybody wants to go
I fell in love at the seaside
I handled my charm with time and slight of hand
Keep Calm and Drive South
