An easy day up the hill to Zariquiegui

Though we started before. 6.30 this morning, we didnt manage to leave the city streets till nearly 8.30. I really dislike cities.. We got misdirected ( no not lost)  a number of times before finding our way. A few km on the hard cemdnt feels like 10 on a dirt track.

It was our second day carrying all of our gear, and I think we are getting used to it and walking. Both kids have about 5 kg each as well as water; and I have 7 kgs as well as a food bag, usually full of tuna, apples, mandarines and nuts( emergency supplies ) 

Though we have the option of getting our bags sent forward , as a team, we have decided that we want to just walk and stop where we want to, without having the pressure of having to get someplace.

We have met up again with lovely folk and bumped into a French dad with his two kids of similar ages to my two. He has a wonderful outlook on life and his kids were both sweet and polite. Lilly and Lauren are of similar ages and though they dont speak each others language, have had a great time together.
