Crazy kids Hi my lovelies,
Glad to see you see that whole mountain biking thingy as once in a life timey kind of thing...How can I get that message through to Brendan?????Not sure the death Rd would be enough to discourage him..

Hola chicos :) Hello
Good to see you are both still having a great time. Intereting blog too, despite being written in a slightly bizarre 3rd person perspective...!
I did Death Road, and due to my massive weight, I was the fastest down the road section, even after one of our guides loaded his backpack with rocks. The offroading was immense, eh? I found an Aussie to duel with all the way down, coming close to disaster a few times, but with a grin larger than the drops next to us..its all good. If I did go over, its prob best to die happy eh?!
I also did a tour to Rurrenbaque, only had time for 3 nights 2 3 days though. As is often the case when backpacking, 1st night wa sspent in some awful kareoke place getting wasted with locals beofre an early morning boat trip into the jungle. Incredible. Did some hiking in the jungle, river swimming, and got chomped on by some mozzies, bet they saw me and couldnt believe their luck. Also went to Pampas, saw a load of caimen. Really amazing trip, though the terrible 20 seater plane was buffeted badly by the wind on both of my flights. It felt like we were flying on a piece of clingfilm..
When I'm not so tired, I'll email you proper. Been home for a month and enjoying a decent bed and drinking cider in beer gardens. Works keeping me busy too, the decorating trade is rosy for TJG Services :)
I took a motorbike tour to Machu Picchu, incredible. If you go there (might be too late by now) ensure you hike to Wayna Picchu, simply incredible. I was 1st on the path but 4th up to the top, sublime, amazing, and any other noun you could choose to use!
I have photos on www.flickr.com/photos/gandy and some videos on Facebook, from when I sellotaped my camera to the handle bars (surely you two old timers are on there already?!)
Also photos of out BBQ in Salta on flickr, check it out. I'm logging off now, need sleep or else I'll be grumpy tomorrow.
Take care both, enjoy the trip...!
How does it go? Hey guys, Just wanted to check in on your adventures. Things look great and hot. A little different from the last time I saw you guys. Hope things are well, safe travels and if you guys are going to be in south africa anytime in the next month, look me up.

Sell it!! Guys your updates are amazing!! So funny :) You should seriously think about selling them as articles to travel magazines and make some money on the way :) I remember looking into travel journalism but never persued it, you should!!
That steak I hear the beef there is great but seriously Cath, how long did it take you to eat that meal. I mean a small meal takes you 1 hour to eat. Love you both and see you soon

Brilliant pictures! Sounds like a brilliant trip, most exhausting but very, very worthwhile. The pictures are amazing, I'm glad you both made it without major injury! Keep us posted, have fun and keep safe.
love itÂ… Brings back memories I almost forgot about the boulder climb to Torres, you brought a huge smile to my face. Glad you didn't get as ill as I did whilst there, though it sounded like you weren't far off. Take care & enjoy. x
Cath & Rob are taking an 8 month walkabout through SE Asia and South America, with a brief stop in Oz for a belated Aussie party to celebrate their September 06 wedding, and then the wedding of Angus (Cath's brother) and Leanne. ... full info
