Ha, just re found this thread after a little surfing...
Lisa and I are just prepping some photos for a magazine article in the USA and thought I'd share them here.
These were taken during our ride through the Altiplano(approx' 16,500 feet alt.) in Bolivia but we'd simply not got around to looking at them let alone posting them anywhere.
Right now we're in the States trying to sort out shipping ourselves and the bikes to Japan and then onto Eastern Russia and Mongolia.
Fabulous images and good luck with the east - west leg, look forward to following your adventures - and maybe picking up some hints for a little way in future
