Ay ay ay ay yooiiyyy!
Just as I thought I had all of my days and dates worked out its wrong. I
thought and was going to put Sunday 10th December but its not its the 11th
so somewhere in the time space continum Ive lost a whole 24 hours to quote
Rosa one of the housekeepers Ay ay ay ay yooiiiyy thats her favourite saying
for when the rangers are handling Rattlesnakes or just at bad things!!
So anyway whatever day or date we are on today was going to be a bit of an
office day. Except after walking to camp they had no electricity. It doesn't
affect me up camp because I haven't got electricity anyway. Carlos wants to
change that though and have a small solar panel up there just enough to
power 4 lightbulbs and perhaps a microscope or laptop. They have been
looking into this and are in the middle of filling out half a rainforest of
forms to fill in for sponsership but with no guarentee they will get it in
the end. In our money it works out at about 150 pound which is about 230 $
which is x that by 3.5 into Argentinan pesos and that doesnt include labour
costs and getting it here over here it works out highly expensive.
After about an hour we had electricity and I was able to reconfirm flights
and answer some emails. Well at least I thought i had it appears some emails
aren't getting through to people so I may have to resend them. Not much to
report today all the beasties have left me alone, no tocos. So I have made a
list of supplies to buy at Buenos Aires theres a camping shop there
according to Lonely Planet book so hopefully I will be able to restock on
things. A couple of things didnt make Rucksacks adventure and Ive been
reccomended some good field guides etc so Im quite looking forward to going
to Buenos. This is for a few reasons a) its the start of the next chapter of
journey b) Ive been told such fab things about it plus I will hopefully have
time to do some of the tourist stuff like go find the balcony evita
energized crowds from in the 40's and find the big ben lookey likey. I cant
believe Ive been here 2 weeks already in some ways it seems much longer and
in others no time at all. Oh well tommorrows another day!!
