    Hello Bolivia / Death Road Biking

    September 9, 2023 in Bolivia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Arrived in Bolivia on the 8th and went for a lot of drinks... hilarity ensued, which may not be appropriate for Find Penguins so won't elaborate!
    Anyways, woke up on 9th very hungover but ready for Death Road mountain biking... think the hangover was a good thing as I was unaware of the 900m unprotected drop for a lot of the narrow downhill path!
    But as the name suggests, it was pretty epic and adrenaline fuelled and a brilliant way to spend the day... and got some great pics!
    Was pretty scary on mountainbikes, no idea how the bus drivers weren't kakking themselves!
    The 3 hour bus ride back to the hotel was also fuelled by beer and rum&coke karaoke with some bangers being played by the driver...
    Other than the creapy guide offering to help all the females with showering (😶) was a brilliant day!
    We are survivors!!! 👊👍💪

    Super sadly we had to say goodbye to 4 amazing members of our gang: Nikki, Soph, Isaac and Chino... going to miss them all so much but hope this is just 'catch you later' rather than 'goodbye'.
    Also welcomed another 9 members to the tour, looking forward to getting to know them better 😀
