We had a free morning in San Pedro so a nice lie in after yesterdays early start and long day. After breakfast at the hotel my cook group was on duty again for dinner tonight so we had to go shopping for supplies. Nigel's group have yet to cook. Nigel and I went for a lovely lunch at a little restaurant on a side street on the edge of town, cheaper than the main tourist drag. Hopefully the local food choices will improve now we're out of Peru and Bolivia, we're bored of dishes of dry potato, rice and chicken!
In the afternoon we went on a trip to Moon Valley, just a short distance outside of San Pedro. So called because the bizarre landscape resembles the surface of the moon with weird rock formations and huge sand dunes. Eoin opened Ambers roof seats so we got to sit on the roof and enjoy the views as we were driving. The sunsets in Moon Valley can be amazing, with the changing light turning the stone and sand a kaleidoscope of different colours so we drove to a viewpoint for sunset and dinner. We cooked a large sausage casserole for everyone, it seemed to go down well, most people going back for seconds. It's not easy camp cooking outdoors when it's windy and dusty for twenty two people. The sunset was over very quickly but did create a beautiful red tone on the mountains.
