Foggy Days


A burst of sunshine got us swimming for a while then the clouds rolled in and summer resumed its normal pattern of cool cloudy days. We’re barely in the southern hemisphere so that might be winter but whatever. 





It’s California style fog, low clouds and a misty shore. It’s still pretty livable even if the swimming looks unappealing. 

I can’t say fishing looks appealing but it’s their job and they are out there riding the swells. 

The one that got away: 





We’ve been studying the road ahead and our plan now is to leave here Monday, or if the sun comes back maybe Wednesday. 

Our next stop down the coast would be Piura a town that is not described nicely in iOverlander where armed robberies have been reported but there is a decent secure campground. 

I’m curious to see more of this strange country though most of the tourist attractions are inland in the mountains. 

More high mountains are ahead between here and Chile. 

Enjoying the beach is good but there are many miles ahead. Ushuaia awaits. 













And that’s the direct route:

The plan is definitely. The question is when. We’d like to drive the Atlantic coast and we have been trying with going down as opposed to coming up. At the moment we want to reach Ushuaia and get that goal out of the way. After that meandering will be easier to do according to the seasons. Uruguay Paraguay and Brazil.
