We came in late evening in the dark to the house. The road up was in bad condition but the last 200m down were even worse, which was too much for our car what I realized next morning with flat tire. There are some deep holes on the road with very sharp stones. Luckily the puncture was not too big to repair with car’s tire repair kit. Do not drive down the last 200m to the house, because towing the broken car up with truck could be difficult. Driving up with normal 2-wheel needs already off-road experience and getting up with slow speed is impossible.
Jorge was very friendly explaining the complicate electricity system of the house. When the batteries of the house run out, you have go to fill up (in the other small house) the tank of the generator with gasoline and start the machine to get some power for lights, fridge, water pump, stove ignition etc.. Do not go to the shower when the generator is not running, because the water stops when the batteries run out of power. Batteries kept max. 1 hour the charge, even less if couple lights are on.
Danger - Do not stay in the generator room inside when the generator is running because of exhaust gases!
Not so convenient either to listen the sound of loud generator in silent environment or you have to accept there is no electricity...
Evening was rather chilly. We tried the living room fireplace. Suddenly we recognised there is coming smoke inside even we had some windows open for the replacement air . I studied more from where the smoke was really coming and seems there are leaks in the chimney towards the living room. You see there is black areas in ceiling and wall of clear leakages of smoke from chimney… Even the chimney’s decorative wooden panel up has got already signs of beginning burning. I think the burning of the roof has not been far away earlier. That is something very dangerous! I was wondering why there was not any smoke or carbonmonoxy detectors in whole house!?
The house is rather dirty, bathroom smelling like bad public toilet, kitchen would need proper cleaning, furniture like sofas very worn or broken.
We had reserved the shag for three nights. But we decided next morning if we get back up with car, we don’t come back anymore. And so, we did…
