My third day on Robinson Crusoe Island. I am surprised: only 600 people live here – all of them iin the only settlement of San Juan Fernandez. Ther cats the lobsters and fish – these are the main sources of income. Tourism seems to be the other one but so far I saw only four tourists on the island – I am the fifth one! Almost all surface is the National Park and recognized Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. There are trails goin up to the mountains – The highest peak has 915 m above the sea level. I was climbing Cerro Salsipuedes overlooking the bay where San Juan Bautista lies. It took me 1.5 sweaty hours each way but he views from the ridge and the cliff on the other side were fantastic. I plane next excursion for tomorrow… The only problem is that is is hard to predict the weather – it is very changeable: it was raining in the evening and I saw the rainbow over the bay before sunset.
In the tiny city library there are two computers and you are free to put your name on the list and browse the internet. Unfortunately computers are very slow and connection brokes are very often…
