Top Gear Special / Road to Mendoza

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!!
