Like India and Cambodia before it, Bolivia has its fair share of Elephants. I saw two jump out on me, one on a gravelly corner, the other in slippery mud. Steve saw at least two too, big ones. One appearing in the shape of a cyclist, the other on the railway tracks. Graham too was a keen spotter, mud was his preferred medium. Mark, Danny, Martin (before he had to exit the tour due to stomach problems) and Gerard saw them too in various guises. Only Mick and Richard didn't spot any. At least none they're prepared to admit.
Despite this none of us have huge chunks of our bike deposits taken for damage. This is a first for one of our trips. We must be becoming better riders. Practice makes perfect they say, so we need to go on more trips like this! ;-)

Next trip: Uncontrolled Bungee Jumping over Victoria Falls or a trip through the jungles of black Africa with all its poisonous snakes and crocodiles. But before you do make sure ALL YOUR kids have completed their academic College education and you have left a HUGE insurance policy for your wife.
Your guys are immature and irresponsible! But super macho you are for sure.
With 2-weeks of no-showering, pitiful bathroom facilities you could not be smelling too good. I pity the person sitting next to you in the planes. AARRG!
We had hot showers at every hotel and I used them. But, I sat next to a very large gentleman on the plane, so pity me!
