Hard-core cycle touring

Hello from Peru. We´re back up in the Andes (much to Liz´s relief) in Chachapoyas, a peaceful and scenic colonial place. If it seems like we have covered lots of ground since our last post, it´s all due to the, er, complementary forms of transport shown above. A couple of dodgy stomachs and a long, hot road made us do it. (We´ll be pedalling again tomorrow, honest). We did choose the remotest border crossing, with poor dirt roads either side, which slowed us, but brought some super green mountain scenery. The next destination is Celedin, for those using a highlighter or a drawing pin, in about five days. Initial impressions of Peru are again of genuine, helpful people and lots more contour lines. However the hunt for Paddington Bear continues...
