We made it! A month after arriving in Tunuyan we are staying in a hostel in Mendoza awaiting our bus ride to Lima tomorrow morning. We were sad to say goodbye to margot, facu, lucky, Vicky, Samu and Lucio not to mention Humo, all the rabbits, chickens, mango and her mum!
The Andes looked spectacular this morning, and for the first time since we arrived we didn't have to break the ice on the water bucket when we had a wash!
Everyone said that we would have an incredibly memorable experience and Tunuyan certainly proved that. This morning as we walked to the cabin to say goodbye to the facu and lucky, they were both doing their yoga routine in longjohns in the woods! Brave for all concerned.
The twins were as sweet as ever and we wish them and their parents all the luck in the world trying to sort out a place to live.
The bus ride to Mendoza was luxury and the first time we'd sat on a chair with a back for a while. Exhausted, I fell asleep. We also had a shower, another first in a month! before you all recoil in horror, we have had a few washes in 3 inches if water whilst in Tunuyan, but that's it. It was incredible to feel clean again, but we both had to change out clothes because all we can smell is smoke - which, strangely and worryingly were more or less oblivious too before! I guess other people who didn't live like the woodland creatures Roo and I had become would have noticed it more! We will sign off now and add photisonce we garrice in Lima until then buenos noches amigos. :)love emma and Roo x
