So we have completed the Salt Flats and I just wanted a quick round-up on Bolivia. After the spectacular time on the Inca Trail it was hard to imagine how to follow that, but Bolivia certainly delivered. From our first stop in Copacabana (and the exploits trying to leave it!) to our travel across the salt to get to Chile Bolivia has served up a storm. I found the people very interesting. Not as inviting or warm as I'd like, but those that were were great. I fou...

So, have you heard the one about the Welsh Couple, the Scottish Couple and the Irish Couple who go to the Bolivian Salt Flats? Well here it is... So me and Kim (the Irish Couple), Del and Linda (the Scottish couple, friends of Steven and Lynsey we met on the stag/hen doo´s and their wedding at home and met up with in La Paz, the Amazon and now Uyuni, gateway to the Salt Flats), head to the tour office ready for the trip, where they meet this Welsh couple.

For all you folk reading this straight after the previous one (aka the dossers and Civil Servants, and I hope I don't include any of the Sky Answers team in that!), welcome back. For those of you just dipping in, this story started a wee bit back and will be in three installments (this is...

Hi all, so thought it was my turn to do a wee update on the blog. Have had a few relatively quiet and easy days in la Paz since the somewhat eventful bus journey! Apart from the worlds most dangerous road! As some of you may be aware from the top gear bolvian special this is a gravel road on which numerous people have died by going over the edge in buses. Jeremy clarkson had a near miss with a bus on his trip! Luckily we were not in a bus but on mountain bikes. ...
