The Andes have been really tough. My face is a mess the skin is hard brown, flacking and dry from the cold dry air and fierce sun. Have given up wearing the helmet because it offers no shade protection. my main guard is lots of Nivea cream and sun cap.

The people in the country places have nothing but like you say are very friendly. Keep your chin up its not easy at times.You got in and out of Lima so you did bloody well.I'll visit Adi when I get back to NZ.
