Hello from Potosi..... We arrived here from Uyuni after a nightmare bus ride...we had a private bus for just our group so I stupidly thought it would be a easy ride! The roads were mostly on a cliff edge and the driver seemed to like the thrill of getting as close as he could to the edge- I tried not to look :/ Not only that but I had to pee behind a wall and the entire journey was so bumpy it felt like you were in a hyper active massage chair! There was some in...

Hello from Bolivia..... From San Pedro we went on a tour for 3 days.

Hola from Santiago. So this was our first stop in South America. Both kate and I have been pretty apprehensive about the place considering the abundance of warnings from loved ones. I think our first mistake was picking the wrong exit at arrivals. It seemed the loved ones were the door to the right and chaos was the door to the left - Which one did Kate and I choose? Chaos. We were bombarded by taxi men. It was a shock considering we hadn´t experienced this s...
