I'm going to re-up this, as we are heading towards interesting times in Bolivia.

In more positive news... Today marks the 11th anniversary of me adding "lunch" as one of my key skills on LinkedIn. It also reminds me of my continuing disdain for that hellspace.

So looking forward to visiting my friends in the South of France, in September. (Queribus, for traction)

I have no idea why I have woken up to this song running through my head... However, as it is, I am now going to have to inflict it on you all. youtube.com/watch?v=tb63Pd… (I'm off to do anagrams to rid myself of the earworm)

Random question for the day... How much do you have to pay if you go over your duty free allowance, when entering Iceland? And, can you claim it back on exiting?

Our crazy Andean weather, this week.

Having tried to book flights on the GOL website, I will never again complain about BA.

I picked the wrong time to get plantar fasciitis...

Not sure how your afternoon is going, but I am inflating quite a number of wine bags, for my trip back to Europe. I think I may be developing RSI.

See you in October JPII.

On Friday, I closed that door for the last time. This was the Gowda family residence for 50 years. This house is now entering a new chapter, with a new family who I hope appreciates its space and views as much as we do.

Damn you Celler de Gelida, with your wily ways.

With bud break imminent, we are trialling different mulches at San Roque: Chipped wood from the tree prunings, Hay from the inter-row sward, And wool from sheep. Looking forward to seeing what, if any, difference they make.

Reykjavik really turning it on for my last day. Hoping, if it stays clear, to see the Aurora Borealis tonight.

Tomorrow... MAN>LHR>GRU>VVI Then Samaipata on Friday for a JO dinner at Casa Charo, before returning to Tarija next Monday.

When you randomly bump into your nephew from Australia, that you haven't seen in eight years, at Santa Cruz airport in Bolivia. I had just arrived from the UK, and he was catching a domestic flight to Riberalta.

Lunch in Samaipata. Chancho al palo.

A few gratuitous shots of Finca San Roque. In the five years I've been working with this vineyard, it's the best it has ever looked. (mostly down to us taking full control from last year)
