In Bolivia again.. can't leave the place alone. From Arica after lots of days celebrating Elle's birthday we left for Bolivia, which was a bit of a trial, involving a bus to Iquique in chile then a lot of waiting and eating and then an 18 hour bus to Oruro. Should have only been about 8 but we had to wait at the chilean border for 9 hours and then it took an hour and half to get through. I don't think the chileans wanted to see us go. Oruro was a bit of a stressf...

Beryl.... we thought this lady was just like you, she was multi talented and enjoyed a really good boogy! We've just returned from the salt flats which were amazing. Although four days in the back of a jeep left us a little bit on the smelly side. Got back to La Paz and they are blockading again, which was a bit on the annoying side.. gas this time... but they left us alone to walk through and get a bus into town. We are staying in La Paz until thursday so i can ...

I've finished work now... and moved out of consuelo's. Elle had arrived and it was a bit of a squash in my room so we moved to a hostel for a week.

But we made it safety to Coroico and are just getting ready to travel to the salt flats for a couple of days. After that we have a loose pl...

Managed to get a bit lost after dinner, but we made it back in the end. Quiet week in the project as all the boys are on the naughty list, so we have only got the girls in the project. I think the soci...

Had a fantastic weekend, once I had managed to get out of the high security gating system at home. I had a 20 minute conversation with consuelo and thought we had agreed that the gates wouldn't be locked because i needed to leave at 6.30am on saturday..... 6.30am on saturday i find i'm locked in, luckily an old guy from next door got up in his pyjama and slippers and staggered down to the street gate to let me out. Obviously my spanish on locked gates is not good...
