You must only just have completed this journal: I switched from one computer to another in a different room - and this wasn't on in the first room: that feels like being with you while you upload it! Obviously I've done no more than just skim this, but it's a stark contrast between what the text and the photos offer - misery of extreme cold on the one hand, grandeur of scenery and extraordinary mining shots on the other. Tremendous. Oh, and the Road of Death - I think I'm relieved you didn't have time for that!

I'm VERY relieved you couldn't do the wall of death..........It's been hard enough seeing where you were in the mine !! I was holding my breath until I came to the photos of the market ! The salt flats are amazing love the photo of you spreadeagled! Hard to imagine how cold and uncomfortable you have been as England just now is frizzling in a heat wave ! Fantastic blog ! Thank you ! See you soon ! Zoe
