EP - Gira Andina 2012

On Saturday we drove from Oruro in Bolivia to Arica in Northern Chile. The scenery was spectacular. Arica is on the coast and I think everyone, as well as the cars, were pleased to be down from the high altitudes of the previous days. Suddenly we all got our energy back.
Sunday was a rest day in Arica. Dessie had already arrived. It was a ladies day by the pool, whilst the cars were getting some tlc from the men. The last days had been tough on the cars and two have already fallen by the wayside, whilst many others are having problems. Dessie and I, with some help from Paul, spent the day attending to the car, which has acquired the nickname of "The Flying Tangerine". By now it is very clear that this is an endurance event, for both cars, drivers and navigators, and apparently the toughest one Rick has ever organised!
