So the flight was delayed by 2 hours and when we eventually left La Paz it only took 50 minutes to get to Iquique in Chile. Once we arrived it was late and we made some noodles and went to bed. The next day we went to explore the town and sarah complained about a headache a lot. But being down to sea level felt amazing. So much oxygen. Chile is quite modern and very western, different to what peru and Bolivia have been. And the Chileans have a ridiculous Spani...

La Paz first time around. We arrived here coming from copacabana which was a mentally long journey on a local bus and an old lady fell asleep on Bens shoulder for some of the way. On the first day we walked around for a bit to see what was here, we then decided to go on a free walking tour which was really interesting and gave us lots of facts about the San Pedro prision and the cholitas la Paz loves its cholitas.

From La Paz, (we'll tell you about that later as we still have a few days there) we boarded a night bus to Uyuni. Now, as you know, we have been on a fair few night buses, but nothing would have prepared us for this one! 13 hours on un-paved roads! Imagine the feeling when your head rattles on a roller coaster- we had that for 13 hours! We felt like our teeth were about to fall out. Anyway at 8 am we arrived at our hostel and had 3 hours to recover before we co...
