Find the spot

Findmespot.com is providing this satellite messenger + GPS tracker that we decided to have. The unit itself was $150 and the plan $100 per year with some options. The most interesting option was the $100k coverage for medevac operations. Unfortunately, they just emailed that there is a recall on this unit, so needs to be returned. We have to figure out how to create a new tab for this blog to include this shared page that shows our current position and last week movement in Google Earth.

We got the Bolivian visas

Bolivia is the only country in our trip that requires a visa for Romanian citizens. Fortunately, the consulate was less than 10km away.

Rebuilding the front fork

At the impact, the front fork has been severely damaged.  Only some internal parts could be salvaged.  So when the replacement parts came in, Radu spent a few hours with his friend Horea rebuilding the fork.  The bike should be in one piece by tomorrow.
