Bolivia takes your breath away, whether you are admiring the wonderful and spectacular scenery of the Altiplano, are walking the heavily polluted streets of the once famous silver mining city of Potosi or are simply hurtling down the most dangerous road in the world on your pushbike. Bolivia has far surpassed my expectations. It really is a country of contrasts, with dry desert conditions in the s... Read Full Entry

Over 5 years have passed since I cycled around the UK and Ireland and the time has come to get back in the ol' saddle. This time I will attempt to initially make the shores of New Zealand, initially cycling through Europe to Istanbul, the gateway to Asia, before following the silk routes through Central Asia and China to the Far East. Following a flight or preferably a boat journey to Australia, I will attempt to cycle across the Nullabor from Perth to Sydney, before heading onwards to New Zealand. I look forward to sharing my journey with you.... full info

Wow, impressive!
I recently visited Bolivia and was one if those people on the 3x day 4x4 tours. I loved your pics, they reminded me of how amazing the scenery is. I can't believe you cycled it! Apart from the roads being atrocious and the traffic and dust, it's quite an achievement at that altitude. However it would have given you a unique perspective and the opportunity to see so much more than the average traveller. The rewards of your efforts! I've enjoyed reading your adventures, looking forward to the next installment. Happy travels!

Mongo bikers!
I've been weaving in and out of Bolivia for a few years, and I'm so impressed that you covered so much of that great country on your bikes! But what a way to go--really seeing the country and the people close up. How wise to take Spanish lessons--that will really enrich your journey too! Since you made it through the desert and up to El Alto from La Paz, your Peruvian adventure will be a snap (I hope)! Great adventure!

The road in Bolivia is challenging at times

Gotta admire the challenge of Bolivia by pushbike but wow it'd be spectacular. Yet we both know many roads would be impossible on a pushbike...many as challenging for 4WD is an understatement. Well done on conquering the roads you traveled on.
