The Road of Death!

Wednesday, 13 April 2005

Mood: accident prone. We Spent yesterday on the Road of Death!
Yes its true... we went by mountain bike (64 km) from 15000ft to 3000ft down a steep single track gravelled road From La Paz in Bolivia to Corioco in under 5 hours, from snow capped mountains (-5 degrees C) to rain forest (30 degrees C).... they told us it was the most dangerous road in the world.... well judging by the hundreds of gravestones along side the edge of the road... I believe them! Well we survived you'll be glad to know. and Jane and I get our "We survived death road!" with T-shirts, and photos to prove it. You can check out the action at their website which you can find by Clicking Here

15 000ft above Sea level, in a school bus at -5c. Who says we haven't lived?
