A wet day in Chugchillan

The plan for today was to walk to cheese factory, visit a water fall and then take a loop back to the inn.

The day started of nice, warm and sunny. The walk was so nice that I missed my turn and went quite far (all the timing cursing myself for being so slow). A truck stopped the driver did tell me that I had past my turn but he was going in the opposite direction, so he handed me over to the police who were just passing by. The police were very nice an helpful, they didn't understand why I wanted to walk so they drove me all the way to Chino Alto (closest village to the cheese factory) and then asked a local to drive me to the Cheese factory on his bike. It took me a while to convince them that I really wanted to walk, so shaking their heads they decided to let me go.

I had been driven the harder part of the trip and it almost felt like cheating. By now the clouds had moved in, it was chilly and there was a slight drizzle. I walked to the cheese factory (there was't anyone there) and the to the village after that by now the visibility was less then 15 ft, so I decided to head back via the cloud forest (which is in rapid decline due to illegal logging).

Yoga at 5, massage at 6, dinner at 7pm followed by bed and book reading. I finished Into Thin Air around 1:00am. Life is good.
