21st of nov. Team motoheadz, team le dahlia and team tok tok. Reached the city of asuncion. After living in the tuktuk for 3 weeks in rain, wind, snow, lightning, dust, mud, sand, salt, tornados and jungle! Our mighty mototaxi has had the motor completely taken apart 2 times. Just about 20 chain changes. 10 punctures. 1 tire change and loads of other crazy stuff!.. We have now litterally parked the tuks right infront of a swimming pool. Where we celebrated like never before!.. Now we just had our first big lie in and nice breakfast.. All in all. . An amasing adventure.. Friken amasing! !

19.th of nov. We cross into paraguay. The amount of heat that surrounded us was insane. 48 degrees in no mans land. People were dehydrating, trhowing up. And loosing energi fast. The roads to and from the border are intense. The gran chaco is long and boring.. Do remember to fuel up on water and gas in villamontes .. !! We just made it with ours.. !. Last night our 3 tuk convoy had 4 flat tires, 1 tire change and several chain snaps... But after 2 hours sleep we are shoting off for asuncion! Hasta la vista!

15.th of nov. We head for tarija from tupiza but end up going all the way down um the argentina border because the sign to tarija was to well hidden.. Took destiny in our hands and went for the border anyway. Stamped out of bolivia and into argentina. The mototaxis were not aloud to pass because the golden stamped paperwork from puno was needed as proof of ownership. Then we thought fuck it. Go back bolivia and paraguay border. But they would.nt let the tuks leave with no paperwork. After talking and talking they let us go.. But now we had problems getting back into bolivia with the tuks. . But again we got out after a while and headed for the lost trail to tarija @
Got kicked out of Agrentina
Got kicked out of ARGENTINA, are in VILLAMONTES now, will try to get to Paraguay border tomorrow!!! lots of problems with punctures, sprockets and chains, but still going strong, yeah!!!

13.th of nov. The convoy of 3 went from la paz to oruro, challapata and then a big turn south west to salinas de garci mendoza. Slept overnight because of a massive duststorm eating us alive.

10.th of nov. the convoy finally reached La Paz. After alot of struggle at the bolivian border 10 teams crossed at midday. . One tuk is down again, so we quickly will try and solve the tuk while here. Convoy will probably split. 3 tuks will try race down to paraguay and 3 others head for Uyuni and then paraguay.. Over and out..
