  1. Just met with a group called Pisco sin Frontieres, who have been working since the earthquake to help rebuild the area
  2. Heading to the town of Pisco, where 80% of the houses were destroyed by an earthquake 2 yrs ago. Will be meeting locals to hear their story
  3. Is there a limit on text messages?! Those from Nick, my BBC director are becoming legendary. Each like the chapter of a book! Thanks team!
  4. A great morning. 50km by 2nd breakfast. Wind direction is everything in endurance cycling.
  5. Great wake up tune if you like Latino music is 'La Avispa' from the album 'Pistas de Perreo' which is Bachata. That & chocy cake!
  6. Nowhere open at 5.30am for food and all I have is a HUGE wedge of chocolate cake that I bought last night! Fantastic way to start the day.
  7. No point in racing on till sunset as need to be in a town to charge cameras as filming an earthquake area tomorrow.
  8. For the first time in a while I wasnt fighting that headwind today. Cruised the miles and finished long before dark.
  9. Some conflict between regions about work. Does anyone know the local news? Joined another cameraman and pretended to be press. Made it past
  10. Adrenaline running high. Just got caught up in a protest. Lots of men with balaclavas, some armed, riot police. Couldnt get past or retreat
  11. There is a real buzz from filming a cracking sequence. Sometimes you know straight away that something will be in the documentary.
  12. Stopped for food and went into the kitchen to film it being prepared by a mother with a one month old baby on her back.
  13. Correction - the team at MB HQ tell me I will now be on @gregjames between 1.30 and 2pm
  14. Will be on @greg james, BBC Radio One after 2pm today - yay, I remembered to tell you this week! Was on 5 Live last night, oops!
  15. Sea mist or the city fog from Lima has made it a dark and chilly start. South of Lima - start of another chapter.
  16. Lots of new photos from the last few days at http://www.flickr.com/photo...
  17. ...and one truck that didn't make it http://flic.kr/p/7ikiKK
  18. 'No Ciclistas' sign http://flic.kr/p/7ikipB at the start of El Serpentin (The Snake) http://flic.kr/p/7ikiS2
  19. New video blog http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/...
  20. @simon_ingram Thanks, it doesn't feel like I am going that fast into that wind! Shame not to see more of Lima, wld take more than a few hrs!
