Regretfully, due to an illness one couple have had to leave the tour and will be returning to Australia when the husband is released from hospital.

Today we travelled over two spectacular 3100+ metre passes - The farmers are now taking their animals from the towns to their summer grazing in the mountains. There are no fences and the traffic seems to cope well.  Lots of horn blowing but the animals seem to not be overly stressed with the trafic
