Goodbye Russell

It was extremely sad to say goodbye to Russell. He left yesterday for Lima and will head back to Cape Town from there. He has applied to be on South African survivor (we all wrote his application essay together on the trip) so will hopefully return to interviews. We traveled so well together and had such fun that we felt like were loosing part of ourselves.

Russell´s highlights (in his words) were:

• Exploring the Uyuni Salt Pans in Bolivia
• Swimming with dolphins in the Bolivian Pampas
• Seeing the Machu Picchu ruins from Huayna Picchu
• Finding the geocache after an exhausting hike up two hill on Amantani Island (Lake Titikaka)
• Skeltering down the World´s most dangerous road on mountain bikes

His lowlights were:

• Being sick in Rurrenabaque
• Having his passport and wallet stolen on the bus to Cusco
• Back to back, claustrophobic bus journeys in Bolivia

But much more good than bad, we all had a ball. Rusty, it won´t be the same without you!
