What better way to spend Christmas Eve than to go to a dinosaur park! We had a choice between a cheap normal local bus to the park, or the more expensive´Dino bus´ which is basically the same normal bus but with dinosaur stickers all over it and a big dinosaur head on the front.....so of course we took the more expensive dino bus (how can you resist a bus with a big dinosaur head on the front!) So we arrived and had to watch a video, in the traditional Bolivi...

So here we are in the lovely lake side town of Copacabana. Situated between nice gre...

So here we are in Puno, our last stop in Peru before we cross the border to our 9th and penultimate country... Bolivia. A total of 45 days spent in this wonderful country makes it our longest residency to date. And it has been a very varied, exciting, inspiring time, and life changing! So what are our observations? First of all, we got engaged! 1) Since then Emily has spent far too much time looking up wedding venues whenever she gets the opportunity. Everyti...
