After sadly bidding farewell to beautiful Sucre and a unusually uneventful 10 hour bus journey we arrived in the little town of Tupiza. It is known as the "wild west" of Bolivia, which you can see from the photos - lots of massive red purple mountains and cactuses. It is lucky the scenery is so brilliant as the town does not boast any culinary delights. Although, to be fair, Dave and Emily are now exclusively eating in crappy touristy restaurants following disas...

Christmas this year was always going to be different, the fact that for the first time ever Dave and Emily would be away from family and friends. After much deliberation, Christmas was spent in the Judicial Captial of Boliva, called Sucre where we managed to get into a lovely place called Dolca Vita with a massive beautiful room, common kitchen, nice sunny courtyard and great living room for all to use. The city of Sucre is a smallish place of around 200,000 pe...

So we arrived and had to watch a video, in the traditional Bolivi...

A bus from La Paz to Sucre 715km away, sounds easy right? Well in Bolivia nothing is easy.

The bus station is only 1km away but La Paz is the most bonkers city we have ever had the pleasure of visiting, an...

From the quiet, relaxing lake side town of Copacabama to the crazy madness that is La Paz. What a difference a day can make. La Paz is a crazy fast paced city, Not the prettiest place but it beats along to an an energy more well established cities could only dream off. Its height is at around 3600 metres above sea level, it it is considered the highest ´de facto´ capital city in the world and it situated in a spectacular natural bowl of the mountainous Atipla...
