It has been a write off of a day, with both of us getting ill. We have tried to do a couple of things to make the most of the day but both feeling under the weather we have struggled. Having booked our bus tickets out of La Paz to Copacabana in the morning and a couple more domestic things. We went shopping to make the most of the markets and options that the witches market had to offer. England were playing Scotland in a friendly football match so we found an...

Today has been an unbelievably fun day, although the start could have been a little later. Waking up at half past five we silently but quickly rushed to get dressed an head to our pick up for death road. It was freezing and we were a little late but only to be told we were not getting the breakfast that we thought was included. Jumping into the van it was just us two on an unintentional private tour. A drive up to the starting point and we got to try our kit a...

An 9 o'clock start with our complimentary breakfast with our room was eaten before we headed to try and arrange a couple of tours. Going in search of the tourist office for a majority of the morning all went in vain. This was because it was Bolivia's national holiday and everywhere is shut. We elected have some lunch and then before speaking a tour company or two. After a slight mon...
