Abancay, Peru
finally on the last stretch to the finish line the knight mount there stead for the last time and splutter and fart into the distance with our new go faster petrol tank. See you at the finish line ( touch wood ) ;-)
Urubamba, Peru
We have crossed the finish line! Over 2000km, countless tiny dirt tracks, two weeks above 3000m, and a lifetime worth of engine failures we are done. Thank you to everyone who sponsored us. We're off for a well deserved pisco sour or two now...
Abancay, Peru
Engine in bits all over the road again, this time innnnn... Abancay! They should make our mototaxi part of the national mechanics curriculum, based on how many have tried and failed to find a fix that lasts more than 40km.
Santa Rosa District, Peru
Sodding. Mototaxi. Engine. Third day in a row it has died. Onto our fifth mechanic and 10.000th hour of hanging about...
Chalhuanca District, Peru
Waiting all day to get our engine fixed we worked out a way to adjust for Peruvian travel time estimates. Add together the two parts of the estimate, so "it'll take 30-45 mins" is actually 75 mins, then multiply by the locals' description of the road quality: Very good=2. Good=3. Bad/road not on map=10+ Hey presto, you have your likely travel time!
Tarma, Peru
6 flat tires in 5 days. Not going to lie, fe
Urubamba, Peru
12 days and 2801km (+60 in a truck) later and we've made it to the finish line! Cold beers waiting for us!
