21st Jan 2012, Puerto Rio
Tranquillo
Oh! They weren’t kidding when
they said the road was rough and the only blessing was the choice of bikes we
had made. Most of the people that we had met who had commented on the bad
roads are all on touring bikes with narrow tyres and solid forks. We have
mountain bikes and this seems to be the better option on the dirt roads. The
road which took the German couple 5 hours we managed in 2 1/2, but we had both
had enough by the end. The drivers on the road didn’t make it easy either
especially the lorry drivers who seemed to be hell bent on getting to where
they needed to be regardless of other road users.
We did finally get to Tranquillo
and found a beautiful campsite on the shores of the general Carrera lake to recover at.
