Some days after I had decided to go to Quito, I decide otherwise (since I'm still keeping Laura warm) and make a loose plan to go through the Amazon. Luc will come to Mocoa from Lima-airport (peru) over Quito (Ecuador) to Pasto (Colombia) with busses and no Spanish. Stefaan Geerts will probably be glad to help him a hand with directions since he's familiar with the area.
So I still have 5-6 days to spend in San Augustin. We are kind of kicked out our hostel because Laura's dog made a big mess in the room and the owner wasn't too happy with that. Earlier that day we passed upon a store that sells iglo's. We return to that store and for an hour try out the 3 models they have. One of them we know immediately that we don't want it as it is too small.
We camp an hour walk outside the village near the river, at a place called "la piscina", because it provides a natural place to swim. When we arrive we meet 2 travellers that we've met before in the hostal we stayed at. They're camping in a VW camper with two more people. All of them are native Spanish speakers (from Spain & Chili). We cook a delicious soup together with onions, carrots, potatoes, yuca, tomatoes and more. The meal is ready around midnight (as custom in Spain). After the meal, the Chilene and his Spanish girlfriend play some amazing music together with guitar, melodica and voice. (The melodica is a like a mini-piano that rests on your lap with a tube that you put in your mouth to supply it with air). The stars contribute to the atmosphere by throwing in some marvelous shooting stars.
