Chile to Pisiga, Bolivian border town (2/3)

Great to hear from you boys again... Susie can now sleep easy! With the way we precipitate ourselves to the computer every morning in great anticipation of an 'interesting read' you would think we don't have a life! And it has to be said we proberbly don't in comparison to what you two , or rather you three!, are experiencing! Sounds and looks simply a la Bill 'awsome'! Would like a few portrait photos of each of you, please, sporting sun blistering blisters 'n all. Am intrigued as to how well shaven Bill always appears as apposed to Ross' Talibanesque visage - there must be some military discipline being practised - most impressed! Also would like to see evidence of the transformed sylph-like figures, slim, fit, bronzed and beautiful, so I'm given to understand! Thank you Raphael for being the welcome banker/translator/bike trouble-shooter/ allround moral supporter which is much appreciated from both continents! Seriously tough and'chapeau' to your extraordinary endeavours with tenacity to keep peddling, even when the occasional window of opportunity tempts one to swallow miles by othe rmeans! Well done so far and thanks for sharing your journey with us so articulately and beautifully. xxxx Mummy B
