Hi All Again apologies for the delay. I became a bit lazy with the blog writing but I am back on it now!! This one is going to talk about everything that has happened since we arrived in La Paz on a very bumpy and uncomfortable 12 hour bus journey from Uyuni!! We decided to go to La Paz for a couple of days before trying to make our way to Sajama National Park as we were both cold and tired from the 4 day salt flat excursion and Sajama was going to be equally ...

Our four day tour of Los Lipez, the Bolivian 'Reserve National de Fauna Andina Edurrdo Avaria' National Park and salt flats was absolutely spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip so far. We met with the group on Monday morning which consisted of Esben and I, Matt a guy from Florida who had been living and teaching in Mexico for three years and Sarah a half Indian Canadian girl who was travelling before going to Peru to excavate a site for her archeolo...

In Tupiza we stayed in Hostel Mitru which w...

I was humming along by the end. The scenery on the trip was pretty amazing arid dry mountains littered with cactuses and lamas. Once we arrived in Potosi we s...

Sucre was one of my favourite towns on the trip so far. We arrived by plane on Sunday morning. Our plane had been delayed by an hour due to bad weather in Sucre early in the morning. The landing was quite amusing, we didn't descend very far into the airport as Sucre is 2.8km up in the mountains. The air was fresh and the sun was shining when we stepped off the plane into the tiny airport. We made out way to the hotel which was made a little tricky because there ...
