After sixteen hours on a bus where once again I failed to sleep we were tired and happy to share a taxi with Cillian the only other foreigner on the bus. The hostel he had booked was nice it had a DVD room with beanbags everywhere and a pool we decided to stay. That day after a shower we went in hunt of food and headed to the main plaza. It was sunday and even on the main plaza nearly everything was closed. In the end we found a place and after food we felt much ...

We got a bus back to Copacabana or hippie town for some chill out time and hiking. The first day in Copacabana we went for a walk up Cerro Calvario hill.

Potosi is the highest city in the world but ...

This was extremely painless it only took Susie a couple of minutes to sort out her American Visa (glad I am not from US cost them to enter nearly everywhere in SA). The boarder town was a very hippie area called Copacabana even though it is no where near a beach. We didn´t stop for long but enough to decide we are going to come back after the trip has finished for some hiking. Then it was back on the bu...
