Our first bush camp

Just a quick note about the majority of our overnight stays as we head down the east coast of Brazil/Argentina. Due to the immense distance we have to cover daily its mostly not possible to find towns with campsites, so when everyone if trucked out we just stop, park up the truck get the tents down from the roof and pitch right there. The first bushcamp we broke into a wood, well, pineforest actually. It was swarming with mosquitos and lots of little jumping spiders, but also lots of fireflies that glow amazingly at night. But then comes the dilemma, open fire means BBQ so good tasty grub, but can you risk eating when you know it may be 12hrs until you reach a flushing toilet? There is always the truck spade and a quiet bush, but you risk losing your dignity and possibly getting eaten alive by bugs as you squat.

It was also Ollies cook group that night so I had the rare opportunity to take photos, I´m usually not allowed as apparanetly I can´t take photos for S**T but I think you´ll find the following photos are of a much higher class of skill than Ollies.

During the day, petrol stations are quite few and far between so we just stop the truck on the main road, boys to the front and girls to the back - glad I have my she pee so I´m not pulling moonies each time - what a great invention.
