Top Gear is one constant I've sustained in my life since leaving the UK (thanks Piratebay), and happily learnt they were doing a SA special featuring Bolivia (thanks Dad for the reminder). Anyway we managed to watch it this morning and were amazed by just how similar their route was! It's nice that those of you who caught it got an (overly dramatic) overview of the Death Road and Bolivia as a whole, one thing they couldn't skew was just how desolate the Atacama really is... miles and miles of nothing!
Anyway, we're all packed up now, my iPhone is loaded with some new songs in anticipation of the 17hr journey to Mendoza, which thankfully is on asphalt!
See you on the other side, dazed, confused and hopefully with a glass of wine!
Emily, we'd both like to wish you a very happy belated birthday, it completely slipped me... which seems to be happening a lot lately, speaking of which, does anybody have a pair of North Face shoes lying around?
Speak soon, ciao!!

Glad you saw TG. We watched it again tonight...just as scary. City's game away at Doncaster postponed due to frozen pitch. More snow on the way tomorrow and wed. Q: Have you lost your walking shoes? Has altitude made you absent minded? When you get to 50 it happens at sea-level! Take care both. Dad and Jack
Hi I have just watched TG on iplayer. The Death Road looked scary but amazing, glad I didn't see it before you went!. The scenery on the whole TG trip looked amazing. Of course it your photos showed are equally amazing. Lots of love Mum & Dad. Hope the bus trip to Mendoza is not too stresfull.
Thanks you two! Don't worry James you know loads of people forget because it's on a stupid day (although if you include the shoes, it must be your age!!)
We hope you had a fab Christmas and a memorable new year!
Em x
