With about ten minutes to spare after the salt flats trip I managed to run to the bus station and jump on the next bus to Sucre. It was more or less the least comfortable bus I´ve been on so far- the seat in front was so close I practically hit my chin on it every time we went over a bus, and I was sitting next to a huge Bolivan woman with a six year old on her lap, who thought I was German. So, wrapped up in a fleece, jacket, gloves and balaclava I fell asleep...

We arrived in the town of Uyuni at about one am, and went straight to find a hostel (which was freexing, despite there being about thirty blankets on each bed, and had no running water) The next morning, after spending about ten seconds in the town we realised that there was nothing to do in Uyuni and immediately set about trying to organise a tour that would leave this morning. We managed to book a tour that left at ten, so headed back to the hostel to pack. The...

From there we caught a bus to Tupiza, about three hours away. Tupiza is a real cowboy town.

Next I headed back down into the city to explore a little and then to a museum which holds the mumified bodies of children ritua...

I arrived in Iguasu early on Saturday afternoon, and shared a taxi to the hostel with a couple of Norwegian girls on my bus who were also staying there. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, so I decided against heading out to the falls straight away and spent the afternoon sunbathing by the huge pool. The following day I set off with an American girl to see the Argentinian side of the falls. Firstly we did the upper trail, a walkway which takes you right across th...
