New set of photos of the journey since Lima on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos...
@trexoftri Yes, it's hilly as well. Heading back to the coast now and hoping I am going to get a break soon. Another month of this... pls no
Happy St Andrew's Day everyone in Scotland - it's before midnight here so it counts! Thanks for all the messages
@MadHeadCyclist Switch backs are alpine style roads that zig zag. Great fun except when trying to slow into corners with a camera in hand!
@BryonyEvens No, I didn't have time to do the tourist flight. Saw some from the road. I wondered how they don't get eroded away.
RT @s2_art Happy St Andrew's. I'll rot my teeth with Irn Bru & a Highland Toffee bar in honour of you > thanks! Wld love some toffee & bru!
Met a fellow cyclist yesterday who has ridden across the Amazon. Very funny blog, check it out at www.amazonpilgrim.com
This camp spot is out of this world... if you like vast spaces and sand
Just took 3 and a half hour to cycle 40km - this afternoon wind is brutal
According to quite a number of South Americans the most famous 'Scot' is Mel Gibson - not sure what to do about this situation
Second breakfast couldnt come quick enough. First at 5.30 so starving by 10. Big plate of rice, steak, chips, fried egg and plantain
The Nazca Lines are lots of huge drawings of animals/fish in desert over 80 km area. Created 200bc -700ad but no one knows by who or why.
Its going to be really hot today. Just passing the Nasca Lines. A wild, hilly desert area.
Its Monday again! Moments last forever but then weeks fly-by when on expedition. A month till Aconcagua.
An amazing section of road. Tunnels and switch backs. Today has been very mixed, loving this part
Was thinking I was past bad headwind but getting blown backwards today. Really need some slack for a while to make miles & recharge energy
Passing through an area of huge sand dunes. Wish I had more time to stop and go sand surfing!
RT @exposedplanet Sad news, Anne Mustoe: round-the-world cyclist died in Syria http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol... > amazing lady, wonderful books
If you are new to the adventure you can catch on all the pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos...
So much has happened this week, I need to quickly write up some notes before cycling. Riding by 8am on a Sunday will be acceptable I figure!
@familyonbikes Yes, they are always looking for more helpers in Pisco. About 40 there now but it fluctuates. No kids but sure it wld be fine
@Metalmike75 Yes, these shanty towns are post earthquake. $20m was donated to the town afterwards, most has disappeared in the 2 years since
@PizzaPreacher Hope ur enjoying Rob's book, I am in it near the end! Not decided if I will write another book. Loved writing the last one
@simon_ingram Yes, I tried Ceviche a few days ago and forgot to tweet about it. Pretty good for raw fish - reminded me of the Swedish style
@johnlaughlin There is simply no option in many of these countries to be a vege & burn the energy I do. It was the same on the world cycle
@MadHeadCyclist It's not possible to camp in all areas plus need to charge cameras after busy 24 hours filming. Normally far prefer the tent
@doonsie @IratePirate8 @Ange77H Hope you read the answer - it was Guinea Pig. It was alright but won't be making a habit of it!
