Gustavo the lorry driver

In Jama as a precaution we asked Gustavo, who looks suspiciously like the late James Beluschi if he would drop 16 litres of water for us 80km down the road. He said he would and we were reassured by the way in which he diligently wrote the kilometres down on his odometer. However we never found the water. Perhaps Gustavo, or the Vicunas, got very thirsty and drank it all (we carried 10 litres of water anyway so it turned out we didn´t need the extra water anyway).
