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...!

Wow! Apart from the butt-clenching bit, the trip to 6K sounds amazing. And you were blessed with a bit of sun. Next stop Everest??

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
