Hello once again! So its the second day of our trip. The day started well - we were told that someone would wake us at 7am in the morning to allow us to have breakfast and then get back on the road. Unfortunately they woke us at 7.40am. Bolivians arent famous for their time keeping. Back on the road and heading to a volcano and 5 lagoons today. Our driver points out that he has a bag of lollies for us - how great is he! While singing merrily along to El...

Hi Everyone! So we are now in Uyuni! We caught a bus last night. Obviously a lot of people are doing a very similar trip to us as we bumped into quite a few people on the bus, who had been on our boat trip on Lake Titicaca. The bus to Uyuni was really nice - we got dinner and breakfast and there was actually heating! A real novelty for us! We arrived into Uyuni at about 7am and once we had eaten our breakfast of oreos and a box drink we were chucked off...

Hi everyone!

This was all because of the national election. I'm not quite sure what difference that ...

Hello again We had a really great day today! Firstly we started the day with scrambled eggs and bacon...wasnt quite the same as home cooked but it was still tasty. We then headed to the ice mummy museum (I'm afraid I cant remember the actual name of the place). This place was fasinating! In 1995 an american explorer discovered a mummy of a 12 year old girl buried under a glacier in Peru. Due to the ice she has been completely preserved - she still has m...

Hello one and all! Well we have arrived in Arequipa! It really is a huge place! We decided to stay in the Point Hostel - the sister hostel of the one in Lima...mainly because it was the only one I had details for! Anyway, we dumped our stuff and headed to the main square - the plaza de armas. It is a really pretty area and beautifully manicured - they really know how to keep a good garden here! We had lunch in the square which was closely followed ...
