Moley's Camping adventures at Playa Docas




An hours bus ride and an hours hot and dusty walk takes you through to the Playa Docas beach where Emma James, Moley & I camped overnight last Thursday.

 

Aparently on their last visit Emma and James had the beach to themselves.  This time the summer season means the majority of Chileans are on holiday so Docas was busy and lively, with plenty of folk camping like us .  Under the gorgeous stars (Em saw a shooting one, yay!)s we savoured choclos (corn-on-the-cob) and veg cooked on Em& James’ well crafted fire and Emma counted 13 other fires along the beach. 


The roar of the huge Pacific waves was calming, although their strength warranted red flags and signs warning against swimming.  Some lads were doing head jumps into the waves, most folk would wade in up to the ankles or at most knees then come running back up the beach as the huge waves hit, sometimes just late enough to get drenched! I managed a couple of ducks fully under and other that that enjoyed the up-to-the-knee dipping and just being close to the ocean again.
