What´s been happening

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Hola chicos, sorry no updates on Bolivia, great fun of course, but doing lots and lots. I´m in La Paz right now, but probably next post will be in 4 days or so, because tomorrow I´ll cycle 64 Km. downhill dropping from 4000 meters above sea level to 1200 m!!!! jajajaja yep it´s the world´s most dangerous road and I´ll be cycling down it :).
Then the next day will be the opposite, I´ll be climbing up hill to the Huayna Potosí for 2 days, summiting it at the stunning height of 6088 meters above the ocean!!! I never thought going up that high, especially after the Himalayas, but isn´t it great??
ok, have to run wish me luck going down and send strength to my legs to go up 🙂
love
simon =)
