Day 24 Cabaceiras - Land of the Rocks! 28th May 2011

Our next stop was another 300km inland to see some strange rock formations in Lajedo de Pai Mateus.  We were due to bush camp again but the hotel allowed us to camp in their grounds and use the facilities.  We had a unique and over excited guide take us to the rock formations.  He had us in stitches with his constant use of “bloody hell” and the pictures he was taking of himself whilst on Amber!  Shame he kept calling her a bus. The highlight was probably sitting on the roof seats on the way up to the rocks!  Awesome! (Pictures to follow as Wifi not great here!)
There was hermit/spiritual man (!) that lived in one of these rocks but the best bit was the views and sunset.  There was one rock called “the bell which we all pressed our ears to when the guide hit it!  Made us all jump but it did sound like a bell.  One other rock was pretty much hollow inside as proved by the 6 ft plus James. (Pictures to follow as Wifi not great here!)
Most of us ended sleeping in hammocks at the hotel which saved us getting the tents out.  The hotel had some kind of music/dance thing going on for some of the other tourist that were staying there legitimately!
