Seems the YPF stations will be a real blessing for lots of reasons. Thanks.

Also thanks for the heads up about the sat nav bracket. You mentioned that before, so last month when I had the dash in bits, we tacked a couple of extra supports on the underside. Looks pretty solid now.

I hope to keep regular updates to the blog - and include some photos, but unlikely to match your great shots.

Where are you now? Do you think our paths might cross in the Americas? If not, there's a beer or two already chilling for when you get to Europe!

not sure if we will meet in the americas, i continue in may 2013, a quick lap of the US and then to Iceland, i will be in Europe probably 4 or 5 times over a about a 5 year period, so beer, yes for sure let me know the location i will head that way

just a little thing i found that you may want to pick up, i got a mr. funnel



gas in Bolivia is touch and go, quality and availability, if you head off the beaten path you will be getting gas from some strange places, this thing filters out grit, dirt and most importantly water, it cost me $14

also as you leave Argentina make sure you fill up (brim it) and be sure of availabilty, last year there were shortages in Bolivia and in some very remote places and gas cans are not easy to find so if that is the case get a gas can in Argentina, you could find them in most supermarkets
