We have found the end of our road in Latin America.

This trip will be London to Lima.

After an agonising decision, we have come to the conclusion that a year is enough and in this week’s How Are You? Where Are You? podcast we discuss why our bikes will travel in a plane home from Peru’s capital.

The cycling journey isn’t over however. We still plan to reintegrate into life in New Zealand by exploring New Zealand’s South Island by bike starting on March 13.

Every day is still an adventurous day in the world of cycling touring and the road to Lima was no exception. We were breathless at the top of the Cordillera Blanca. It even snowed on us!

Baden has been looking forward to arriving in Lima to find out if the food lives up to its reputation. Listen in to make sure it doesn’t disappoint.
