We are now on the home stretch, with an estimated 450 Kms to go. Uyuni was reasonably fun, though our journey out was abismal. We thought we should take a slight detour to the train cemetary not far from the city, and what we thought was on the way.

Stop lollygagging around in swimming pools!
Well done gauchos, you are making good progress, it must be good/sad to know that the end is in sight. Bill, you must be particularly upset with your tumble after abstaining for so long, especially at the hands of a bird. Your Mum gave my Mum some of your chillies which she asked me to thank you for and she and the old man send you both their best wishes. Sorry to hear about your rimms......., it sounds like a bit of a problim. I hope the bikes can stand up to the whole of this epic journey with you. Anyhoo as Tom said, there will be some Pints of Shropshire Gold and some pistashio nuts waiting for you both on your return. Look after yourselves guys and look forward to seeing you soon. P.S. Ross please don't shave until I have seen the full beard. P.P.S. You too Bill...... gaggs.
