The High Life

We have spent the last week travelling through Lauca National Park in the North of Chile. At altitudes of over 5000m above sea level, it has been a serious test of endurance. And gin.
Who says coca tea doesn't fix all ills?

Subsidence. What subsidence?

Our humour has matured greatly during our travels.

And we have developed spiritually to a Zen-like state.

Sort of.

Note the classy surroundings, particularly the backdrop.

Guess what? It's a mountain. At 6500m above sea level, it makes a molehill out of Mont Blanc.


Look! They get everywhere.

I wish I could say that we learned our lesson but I fear it will take several more goes yet and we're currently a lovely shade of lobster with extra pink mozzie bites on top. Hope you guys are all doing well.
Lots of love

Hello Chaps. Lovin the trail so far, Mira's expecting a long tailed rabbit when you come back, just to warn you. Think you can get one through customs? Wear it as a hat maybe?

keep up the good work (sic)

I refuse to sunburn anymore. By sheer effort of will. No poncey suntan lotion for me. No sir.

I'm too clever to sunburn.

Ooo. Ouch. Bugger.
