Bruce, you're a star! Thank you very much - have given me the confidence to have a pop at Bolivia with just google maps....
I don't have a definite date by which I have to be back - it's more I'm starting to feel the miles 8,000 miles into the trip.... BUUT... having said that, I can't imagine I'll ever be able to explore Peru with my own motorbike. So....if you had say 1,500km to spend on Peru and were in Arica, what would you do?
For some reason, I'm really not that drawn to Macchu Picchu and Cuzco - I can't help but feel it will be a box ticking exercise overran with tourists which is not my bag. But if there's a stunning route to ride and end up in Bolivia without ripio, I might well go for it.
IN any case, thanks again for the Bolivia tips - it's a huge load off to know I don't have to do ripio at 7,000m to cross it.
