Last weekend had long been designated for the second camping expedition with Peter's Class 4. We were having second thoughts following torrential rainfall on the previous evening, but the weather was beautiful on Saturday so we went ahead.

After a (sometimes rather rollercoaster) ride on three motorbikes loaded up with tents, blankets, food and two people each along the unpaved road (rendered churned-up mud in many places after the rain), we arrived at Nacho's parents' house and subsequently at our camping spot. At this point it was already getting dark - perfect conditions for putting up unfamiliar tents and conjuring a bonfire out of soggy wood.

We triumphed in the end, and were soon sitting around our blaze making kabure (chipa on a stick) over the embers. [
See this post if you've forgotten about chipa]
In the early hours of the morning there was a full-on thunderstorm with liberal lashings of lightning. Our tents held up pretty well but a bit of water did seep its way in. I speculated about death by electrocution, but on the whole it was rather fun.
In the morning we went for a walk in the sunshine and ate mandarins from Nacho's parents' garden.
