    This is the Sherpa Bar in Morzine, which my brother ran for 5 years after his retirement from professional snowboarding !

    Most notable for its summer Wednesday BBQs and the special Star Wars themed toilet.

    But I do like this new 911 Turbo S convertible in Silver with the red top.

    £156,000 basic price, and you can't even order one in the UK currently.

    Fin definitely

    You should have offered a trade. Our forum watch has more of a story to tell!

    It travels more widely and frequently than Howard Marks avoiding the DEA!

    BBQ is getting a bit hot.

    Friends have bought a small French country house from 1450. I told them we call it ten to three in England. They weren't so sure.

    Communal pool very cool

    Martini very dry

    And the watch has assisted in the replacement of 10 double glazed units (£192.00 Inc VAT btw) so I now have a great view again from the conservatory, out over the Marlborough Downs.

    You could see that too if I'd not focused on the watch...

    Just back from Zakopane in Poland. Cracking trip and beautiful place if any of you get the chance to go.

    Obligatory pics below.

    I'll stick £10 in to the fundraiser once I'm at a computer.

    Cheers Steve and cracking idea.

    The watch travelled with us today on a road trip north from Bogotá to Paipa in the department of Boyacá, a lakeside town famed for thermal mineral waters.

    We stopped for lunch on the way at Puente de Boyacá, a small but significant bridge which is the centrepiece of a number of monuments commemorating the Battle of Boyacá which granted independence to New Granada in 1819.

    On Wednesday we started the day with a ride in the woods, followed by a visit to the impressive Vargas Swamp Lancers. This was the location where British Legions fighting under Simón Bolívar against Spain played a decisive role in recovering an unbalanced situation when commander James Rooke (known locally as Jaime Rooke) led the 2nd Rifles in a bayonet charge, gaining the position at great cost.

    A pause for lunch and a stroll by Lake Sochagota before adjourning to the thermal pools for the afternoon.

    For those interested in such things, the strap is a custom Toshi that I've dug out of the box for this excursion. Very comfortable and I think that it works well.



    Next stop, La Paz.

    Looks like you’re having a great trip Matthew. The Toshi looks great on the watch but I presume it didn’t venture into the thermal springs on account of being leather?

    If anybody has been following this thread and fancies taking the watch on an excursion, please reserve your dates on the calendar;

    https://teamup.com/ksz78vbneijoxcg9r2

    There are no more bookings, so all dates are free. The watch has been on its travels for just over a year now and raised nearly £300 for the fundraiser. It would be great to see it on some new adventures and raise the FR total further.

    Indeed - to be honest I felt it preferable not to wear any watch in the hot springs.

    If the watch is still available to the end of November I could take it on to Havana and then Washington DC. I'll be making an appropriate donation of course.

    A few photographs from yesterday, cycling the North Yungas Road in Bolivia, AKA 'The World's Most Dangerous Road'. One of the most exhilarating experiences of my life, absolutely incredible. I'm sure that many will have seen this road feature on Top Gear.

    Meeting for breakfast in central La Paz.






    Getting prepped and having safety briefings at 4,700m/15,400ft.








    Setting off...






    And heading down through the clouds.










    Emerging from the mist...








    Finishing at a wildlife sanctuary near Yolosa, way down at around 1,100m/3,600ft, a total descent of more than 3,600m/11,800ft for a meal and a welcome hot shower.








    ...before the long drive back to La Paz.




    Cheers!

    Matthew

    A few photographs from exploring the southwestern corner of Bolivia.


    Starting at the Salar de Uyuni.






    Obligatory 'perspective' shot.




    Sampling the local produce.




    And hitting the highlands.

    Certainly a breathless moment. Makes a change from grasping at straws, at least. If I had any photoshopping skills I'd stick a cricket bat in there or something.

    Here's a snap from Isla del Pescado, which should really be called Isla del Cactus.

    Indeed, I can’t see many fish (or any likely habitat for them) in this picture...

    Sounds great. Just something as simple as your airline ticket stub would make a worthwhile inclusion to the passport.
