La Paz - Cuzco. 10/06 - 20/06 : Welcome to Peru...

First day out of La Paz, and its an evening by lake Titicaca.

We had heard that the road to Cuzco was busy, but it was a surprise to be playing chicken with buses!

Dinner also had surprise chicken...

5000km

And it´s not just our legs that are worn out.

The scenary was getting nicer and the roads quieter... We had heard rumours of road blocks, but a scattering of rocks and glass was not going to stop us!

An angry mob however is a different matter.

After 80km of road blocks we eventually reached Urcos, and a surprise party. The next day to Cuzco was hard work!

San Pedro De Atacama to Uyuni. 8/05 - 17/05 : Mission

A change of plan... We were given a map and some GPS readings for a good route into Bolivia. Shame we don´t have GPS.















So back up the Paso de Jama... the easy way!













We had no idea what would be in store for us but we didn´t expect wind like this!

Nights were cold (-20C) and the roads seriously bad

Sometimes so bad, even the bikes went on strike!











There were some impressive sights











But pushing your bike 10km uphill can really piss you off!













Sometimes you wish you were travelling like everyone else

Until you get to places like this

Our map was not the best, so we were lucky there were signs to help

After 8 days of cycling on sand we eventually made the Salar de Uyuni. Time to work on the tans.

And a good opportunity to meet typical Bolivian women

550km later; Uyuni. Who needs GPS?!
