We had booked ourselves onto a tour of the Isla del sol on Lake Titicaca and so headed off on this boat which was basically a piece of wood with the tiniest engine attached and crammed with over 50 people. To say it was slow is being generous! Two hours later after every boat on the lake had passed us we arrived at the island and because none of us speak spanish we didnt have a clue what time or where the boat was taking us back from. We finally worked out that w...

Sadly we realised that on such a short trip we really had to move on from this funky city. We hadnt had the time to visit the infamous prison or the coke dens but hey we would rather come home alive! At 8am we caught our bus from La Paz to cocacabama which is a small town on Lake titicaca. It didnt take us long luckily and so after a few stops and eating some mining street food we arrived and went to find a hostel with this guy H we had met on the bus. We found t...

So day 2 in Lap paz.

Finally we all got up around lunch time and headed to the local travellers hangout..olivers travels for some lunch. To giv...

We spent the day chilling around the city which was so funky...loads of street sellers, shoe shine boys (who looked like terrorists in balaclavas) and people selling dead lama foetus`. We suddenl...

Our final day of the jeep tour was meant to begin quite early, but the drivers had been up drinking til about an hour before we left and so the morning began quite slowly. We were all quite petrified to be driven around by a crazy bolivian drunk driver but what can you do when you are in the middle of nowhere with no other options. Our first stop was the famous salt flats of bolivia which are truely stunning! It is just crazy to be in the middle of a salt deser...
