    Good on you. It's hard enough to breathe in Cusco without climbing on a bike. Fantastic place. Didn't you go to Machu Picchu. Nice little climb up the twisted windy road. You would have to get to agias calantis by train or bike along the train tracks. 😊

    Wonderful send off you two! Reminds us of our first world tour back in 2013 and our send off. We weren't sure if we were going to make it 2 weeks, 2 months, or a year. Ended up going for 25 months and then in June 2021, we did it again but with less fan fare since we flew to Deadhorse, Alaska. Crazy how far you two have come after 3 years. Cheers and to more happy cycling you two. Ron & Petra

    • @debsandtom8731
      @debsandtom8731 Před 6 dny

      Thanks. It's hard to say about the twist control, I guess it's easier on the fingers but harder on the wrist, as you need to twist it round rather than push a lever. Rohloff do offer an electronic shifter I think.

      Thanks. Yes, you've got to be steady with data with Glocalme, but waiting for the special offers and discounts helps. You can put a local sim card in it, which we did in the US (Verizon), so then it is just like a wifi hotspot off the sim, though it can be hard to find a data only sim that allows hotspots.

    Nice to see a mature couple out and about. I just found your channel and it looks delightful. Years ago, I was on tour with a group of six friends and all the women brought a little black dress and a straw hat for a night on the town or village. You seem to be really enjoying yourselves and traveling at a sensible pace and have found out how to live the life of a 21st Century nomad. I'm a wee bit older and at 82 but I'm now doing short near to home trips since my riding friends are now registered in the book of memories.

    I remember when you snapped your front tooth in half 30 odd years ago headbutting my sink in Wearmouth Hall Scumderland. Oh the memories. You'll probably get better dentistry in Peru than over here. I've gone private now and it cost me £700 for a wisdom tooth removal and a root planing. You don't wanna do one of them boss.😅 All the best. Dan.
