Atalaya - in ten hours we managed about 2/3 of the way before one of the bikes refused to cooperate. Thankfully good people of Peru helped us out with a lift.

Ended in Lampa yesterday, about 55km short of our target. Checked in to our luxury accommodation and headed to the cafe for beers and food. That's where I notice a local in hysterics pointing at me. Turns out he'd seen my rather spectacular tumble in to a river earlier that afternoon - which had no bearing on our shortfall in mileage, probably.
About half an hour after getting three drowned monkeys running again I was attacked by a bastard of a dog that bit me twice and then promptly fucked off after I took a tumble that lost me my front brake.
All in all a good day.
beers in Puerto Ocopa before the final leg of the journey tomorrow. Google says 5h so we assume 10h. 6am wake-up tomorrow.
Lunch in Satipo. 70km to Puerto Ocopa where we'll be staying for the night
So. Back in a WiFi zone. Thursday started off finding a mechanic for a quick buke once over. Then we headed into the abyss. Slow going at 4300m but a beautiful climb on a ‘track’ I think the map calls it. Didn’t get where we wanted to but we needed another mechanic and there was a ‘hostel’ there. But 3 alpaca blankets keeps anyone warm
easy 2.5h drive, pool time!
arrived in San Ramon! Best day of driving so far with everything going just as planned.
bye mountains, hello jungle! 80km to go, should be about 2h of driving
