Thanks everyone. A most incredible journey. Took abit to get used to the high altitude flying. Most important part was planning. Although a few of these flights, I failed to plan enough and came out very lucky. Namely SKBG. I only have a wind gauge, clock and NDB's when avalible, still do not know how to use the VOR. One fubar, but I blame this on the snake that got loose. Still celebrating at Salta.

Well Done, Robert!
