Piura, Peru
With the starter failing and Inertia coughing up the last of the oil out of the engine and over our legs we roll across the finish line under both Irish and Australian colours. Thanks to all those who donated, followed along with the updates or sent us messages - you're all awesome.
La Libertad Region, Peru
Just decked out the mototaxi in Irish colours for the last couple of days driving.
Pisco, Peru
Currently being smuggled past police checkpoints in the back of a flatbed by a peruvian family on their holiday.
Ayacucho, Peru
Now warmer and sort of dry after the epic fight of driving at 14,000 ft on the precarious dirt roads of the Andes. Highlights include: the brits head-on collision with a local taxi (somehow their mototaxi came out on top), us being run off the road by a semi, being overtaken by the irish (they hired a passing flatbed to take them the rest of the way to Ayacucho... cowards), and the local policia immobilising their car in a ditch after charging us multa.
Andahuaylas District, Peru
With the engine cleaned out and a blown gasket replaced we made it partway across the Andes to Andahuaylas, with a couple of stops to go for a run at 13,000ft and help out our british companions. Oh, and our gear stick broke so we're stuck in 1st for now... @
Cuzco, Peru
After 30 hours, 5 airports (none of which had rubber chickens) we can say buenos dias from cuzco! Off now to go pimp out (and learn to drive) our magnificent steed Che Duffy has christened 'the mighty one.'
