The queue to exit Peru yday was massive, but we finally managed to enter Bolivia! Our luck started changing again yday when Matthew was hit by a line of pigeon poo in the main square in La Paz, and now I am sat in the airport alone after Matthew was whisked off by security to go through our bags as they think we have packed guns....I am hoping it is the bike lock!

IN CHIVAY Well there have been many ups and many downs, with emotions and temperatures, and we are finally leaving our Magnificent Tricycle of Destiny in Chivay and heading on a bus to Puno. Peru clearly did not like us, and after our 7th puncture and having all our warm clothing stolen, we have surrendered, we are leaving, and never coming back.@

IN ABANCAY Stayed in Kishuara last night. Took wrong turn and ended up on road of rubble resulting in a flat front tyre, but other than that Tricycle of Destiny doing magnificently! On tarmac now from Abancay which is a nice rest for the buttocks! Matthew has turned black due to a unique combination of engine oil and dust mixed with suncream on his face.@

Drove in the dark and through a storm last night and stayed in Chumbes. Pushing on towards Abancay. Mototaxi doing well, although gets upset at high altitude and when it has no fuel, and I have found it is not fun pushing uphill! Matthew being a hero and so far done all the driving, as all wiggly cliff roads. With screaming camels and wobbley express, all fine so far
