Hi folks Just arrived in the Amazon basin from the most gorgeous tropical paradise called Coroico where i spent 3 days recovering from mountain biking down the worlds most dangerous road. And it was. 3500m descent over 80km and i have never been so scared in my life. The road is so narrow and full of sand and rocks that death is almost a certainty. But i survived. Apparently they only lose one or two cyclists a year but on average one bus every two weeks g...

Arrived in La Paz this afternoon after an 18 hour bus ride from Santa Cruz. When i first saw this place it literally took my breath away coming in on the bus. A sprawling metropolis in a huge crater surrounded by snow capped peaks. The last few days have been quite emotional for me.

Colourful colonial buildings and real traditional Bolivian culture. I visted the silver mines...

I can not seem to get out of this place as I love it so much. I will update this post card in mo...

Blame it on Rio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How very true, this place is brilliant. It is like BA but with the perfect back drops everywhere. It has to be the prettiest city in the wolrd. It has great beaches, great drinks, great dances, great women, and great music. I can only say that when I was there, I got hammered again, every night. However i did see all the sights, which was cool, and I did hang Glide over Rio, which was also s*** hot. There was too much...
