Sealions! Another late start, we had bacon butties for breakfast :) with the bacon left over from our carbonara the night before and was delicious, even more so as we'd traipsed all over the place trying to find some and ended up with some in a packet, a delicacy it seems as there isnt any to be found anywhere, even in the butchers! After breakfast and the usual internet session we went out to explore the other end of town which led us once again to the sea fr...

Bus and Tent! After getting back late yesterday it was about 12 by the time we dragged ourselves out of bed this morning. We were having some toast and jam for breakfast when a nice lady came in and gave us a cup of home made raspberry jam which she makes herself, very kind! :) We tried once more to find some reasonably priced accommodation and when we eventually got fed up we decided to go book the bus and buy a tent instead.

We headed out in haste to Bellavista where the entrance to the San Cristobal Hill is situated and after getting a map from the tourist info booth (the lady didnt bother to hang the phone up, just glanced at us and handed the map over and carried on with her conversation!) we walked p...
