Hola amigos!

Only one more day until the Odyssey. Nick, Peter and myself all have First Aid Kits brimming with anti-malarials, antibiotics, and other mysterious substances. It's like I'm carting a whole doctor's surgery with me across the other side of the world.

Nick Plimmer, Peter Wilson and Brittany Travers, (otherwise known as intrepid trio) are going to squeeze in as many cultural experiences and adventure as we can between these destinations: Buenos Aires, Salta, Sucre, Cochabamba, La Paz, Cuzco, Macchu Picchu, Brazil, Uruguay and Patagonia. We only have 2 and a half months for the odyssey and we've brushed up on our beginner's Spanish thanks to the back of the Lonely Planet.

Nick and Peter are going to tackle the world's most dangerous road by mountain bike. Are they crazy? Or just scarfies in the jungle? We shall see.... (There are no minimum safety standards for adventure tourism in Bolivia....Don't tell Peter's mum!)

All three of us are going to volunteer at Inti Warra Yassi - A Bolivian NGO which looks after mistreated wild animals whilst rehabilitating them into their natural habitat.

We are going to soak up the south american vibes and the stunning andean scapes. Stay tuned!! Luscious pictures will soon be posted, I promise! Not long till the adventure begins.
