Two middle-aged guys, away from their loving families, taking on the challenge of the torrents of glacial waters flowing down from the mighty Andes Mountains.

Even more good news is that I will not feel obliged to hang around a local hospital for Nick!
So, we can both move on with our trek southwards...........
