We arrived in Cordoba well rested after our 10 hour bus journey from Salta. The bus was the best I've seen with little pods just like in business class on long haul flights and the seats went almost completely flat and were wider than most. The food was good to so all in all we had a good journey. Cordoba is Argentina's second city so is pretty large. This is probably the only reason we decided to go there, that and the fact it breaks up the long journey to...

After breakfast and saying goodbye to Stuart and Charlene, three of us headed to the local bus station in Tupiza. We had booked seats on the cheapest local bus to get us to the border (just £1.50 each for a 3 hour journey) and the bus really was basic with holes in the floor that meant you could see the road. From there we could either cross the border and stay the night in the small Argentinian town of La Quaica or we could get a 7 hour bus straight to Sal...

Having arrived in Tupiza at 4 o'clock in the morning and wondered around for about 20 minutes because we were lost we eventually managed to find our hotel. Yes we splashed out and paid for a hotel with a swimming pool! Although the choice in this town was limited anyway and the price was very reasonable. We checked in and crashed out until the morning where we awoke to a really sunny, hot day. We decided to get a few chores done (washing, banking, shopping,...

After leaving Potosi we had a 5 hour bus journey to Uyuni where we would start our tour of the world's largest Salt Flat (aka Salar de Uyuni in Spanish). 5 hours is nothing in a country this size and we are all well used to longer journeys so we weren't too worried about the type of bus we got. Good job really as it wasn't the best, but then Bolivian buses never are! A guy we had got talking to in the Koala Den Hostel in Potosi was also on our bus although w...

We arrived in Potosi having already booked our accommodation at the Koala Den. It was only a five hour journey to get to there from Sucre and it was a day bus. We had our tour in the afternoon so after checking in we made our way to the town centre. We grabbed some lunch and then decided to locate the tour operator where we had to meet to start our tour. It happened to be right next door to where we had our lunch! Brilliant job done, the tour didn't start till...
