Thanks! We certainly brought a bunch of stuff with us but we had two people on the bike rather than just one I envy Lois for being able to take such a light bike which handles a lot better in the rough stuff.
We've met Lois a couple of times as well while she was on her book tour for Red Tape White Knuckles (London to Cape Town) she's a really awesome woman.
We had plans to head down to Ushuaia (southern most city in South America) but ended up living for an extra 6 months in Central America instead. Get vehicles across the Darien Gap is rather expensive so when we decide to do it we plan to fly into Buenos Aires and buy a vehicle down there, hit Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina before selling it and flying back.
