It was an extended day, not least as a result of my head chilly is ferocious and my cough is deep and chesty.
I used to be prepared at 8am however of the tow truck there was no signal. He confirmed up round 12:30, I paid the invoice for the campground and we took off throughout Arequipa.
He was not my favourite tow truck driver and I’ve met just a few now, however his downside was his telephone and his fixed hustling for enterprise aggravated me as he couldn’t give attention to this job and certainly it took three tries to load GANNET2. He drove throughout city one handed understanding one other job as we went.
In 20 minutes we arrived on the transmission store and unloaded the enormous van into the visitors lane. I arrange a triangle to warn automobiles coming not far away however I used to be being about as eccentric as I’m after I choose up after Rusty.
There was not an enormous quantity of room because the truck unloaded GANNET2 removed from the sting of the lane. No injury achieved although.
I paid 220 Soles ($61) for the tow after which Renzo got here out in a choose up truck and we hooked up the winch line from the entrance of GANNET2 to the again of the Mitsubishi.
Up the courtyard we went and into his restore yard. Then we needed to push the final 40 toes into the restore bay. Somebody made a remark suggesting we rent some folks off the road to assist and I used to be prepared to do this.
Because it was an oil rep made a supply and one other buyer rolled up so with Renzo, his sidekick and me we made 5 and in GANNET2 went. The set up ought to start Tuesday and I hope I’m solely should didn’t ind night time within the yard among the many dusty automobiles ready for service.
It’s barely up by the entrance which makes dwelling aboard barely awkward however not less than this not being the States I don’t should get a lodge.
And Rusty has discovered his spot. I emptied the bathroom and the trash earlier than we left the campground. The batteries had been absolutely charged and I’ve a bottle of water to filter if we want it.
We’re set, hoping GANNET2 runs as regular in spite of everything this. And I recover from my chilly.
