PHOTOS, AT LAST

Salmonella City Roadhouse






I dont know, I just take the photos, ok?






The towels in my room at Foz do Iguacu. What talent the girl has.




The mighty Iguacu Falls, various angles.Its so big, its hard to photograph.













Our hotel at Parmamarca, Argentina. The Flintstones used to own it.




Servo in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Tricky!




Sunset in the Atacama




Dont ride too close behind an Italian, if there is any mud about. Thanks Luca!





Bolivian roads are tricky at the best of times





The Bolivian Altiplano, some of the best scenery I have seen




Out on the Salar de Uyuni. Yes its me. Yes Im riding a dinosaur. No, its not a Triumph..




Bolivian Altiplano





Ditto




Loading trucks at the Potosi mine, Bolivia. They do everything the hard way, it is truly appalling.




Dynamite, anyone. Yes, its the real stuff.




Well, I had to see some eventually, didnt I?







Dried llama foetus anyone? The Witches Market, La Paz







Street market, LaPaz




La Paz. Its like this for nearly the full 360 degrees. We didnt even attempt to ride here, we left the bikes at the top.







Bolivia




On the barge crossing Lake Titicaca at the narrow point, Bolivia




The street parade/festa in Copacobana, Bolivia, which held us up, fortunately.




Ditto



Crossing from Peru into Bolivia.




There is no shortage of mangled English signs


Backstreet in Puno, Peru. Yuk


Reed boat building, Lake Titicaca


Welcoming committee. Hide your money.


Our first high pass. Max & Luca were first, naturally. The spontaneity & unpredictability of these very likeable blokes was great fun.



The Group at Machu Pichu, Peruvian Andes.
