Day 9

Our second last day and we can’t believe it has almost finished, months of prep and planning. We woke up at our mountain hostel, with Cami going out for some early morning shots, whilst Craig and Andrew had some breakfast.

Before long, Emil was taking us back down the mountain, in a scene which resembled Top Gear. A kind gesture, Emil offered to drop us off in Carta where we would be staying the night, a drive which included a water crossing!

Arriving at the campsite, we were depleted of cash, so the tents were pitched and an hour long walk to the nearest atm was on the cards. Morale hit a low point on that walk due to a lack of cash, tiredness and horrific driving, making the walk less enjoyable than before.

However, once the atm was reached and food bought, morale went up again with jokes being cracked on the way back. Although, when the rain started pouring down it didn’t sit too well!

Once back, an exploration of Carta took place. Carta is a small and rural town with a more traditional way of life. This was highlighted when a herd of cows paraded through the streets, even some of them making trips into people’s backgardens! (Got some decent photos though)

With night approaching we were all day in the shelter at the campsite (the only place that had outlets) as all of our battery packs and camera batteries had died from the previous days. After a while however, we all headed to the tents for some shut-eye. Well that was our second last day. Till next time, adios from Team Troon.
