Next moves

After yet more delays we are haivng to cut our loses and to try and salvage some sort of trip now. We´ve left Bertha in Puno. Very sad to leave her behind as she has performed remarkabely. Not one thing went wrong with her. whiel other teams were breakign down left right and centre, bertha just kept chugging along and i have every confidence we would have made had it not been for the 8 days of delays (and counting) that have been thrown our way.

Booked onto the 2.30 bus in Puno to La Paz. Heading down to the salt flat the day after befopre moving into argentina and then paraguay. should be there for tuesday/monday i hope. Guy will fill you in on the rest of the news.

 adios

Update on the Team

Thought i'd better introduce myself as the new team member to Energetic Sofa. Guy was kind enough to have me on board when i found myself in the postion of having no team members left and a rapidly approaching start date for the  Junket. Fortunatley there was an opening  and its all sorted now.

Other than that, have to say i'm looking fwd to it, possibily i think the toughest adventure yet in terms of terrain and vechicle provided. As per usual the man on the street says it can't be done. But i think they've misunderestimated us.
