Well Buenos Aires was taking it's toll on us, not getting in till 8am then only having a few hours sleep before we were up again for the football, so we decided to escape for a few days to Uruguay. Alex, Terry and our lovely selfs decided to take the 3 hour boat over to Uruguay for a few days chilling out and to get another stamp in the passport. We arrived in Colonia and got ourselves checked into a hostel before going for lunch and a little walk around the o...

We had been told by other travellers that a mine tour was very difficult because of the lack...

Well what to say about La Paz…. You love it and hate it all at the same time! We checked into the Wild Rover hostel which we had been told about by practically everyone we met and for the first four days that was all we saw, other than nightclubs! The hostel did western food which at around £3 was expensive for Bolivia but in the grand scheme of things, if it kept you from having to put effort into moving it was worth splashing out =) We met up with som...
