Hey there, glad you're enjoying the book :-)
Just to stick my nose in, I'd like to add a link to Amazon Canada, for anyone who happens to be interested in getting their own copy of Llamas and Empanadas, no matter where you are in the world:

Good luck with the Carretera Austral... I hear it's incredibly beautiful. Don't forget to take a good rainjacket though, and lots of extra brake pads!
Happy cycling,
