Got to see lots of local life in La Paz, Kass' girlfriend has a big family who are all lovely and we got to spend some time with! Keishea's (Kass' girlfriend) brother had a big party for a wedding anniversary which me and Sean were invited to as well, which was really fun…thank goodness for the Spanish lessons!! They were so unbelievably friendly and welcoming, and they made such an effort with their English - felt bad we couldn't make the same effort back, but...

Hi guys - using the opportunity to avoid some boring England football match that Sean and Kass are watching to send a bit of a catch up from La Paz...the capital of Bolivia. When I last wrote we had arrived in Potosi - a great city, and the most built up place we had been to in Bolivia. It is the highest city in the world at over 4200m but luckily we had been higher in altitude and so didn't suffer too badly with any sickness. It is set amidst the mountains and ...

Its a lovely place to wander in the sun, all the usual great artis...

Just a quick update to the start of Bolivia as I have no idea when we will get wifi again! I last wrote leaving Buenos Aires after mum and dad flew home - was very sad to see them go.

We took a bus from Buenos Aires to La Quaica on the Argentine-Bolivian border. It was pretty hectic - took 29 hours, and although the bus ...

Just arrived in Potosi, it is such a dramatic and exciting place...millions of people crowding the streets everywhere. We have had a good wander around, checked out the local central markets and all the stalls, not to mention the beautiful churches, Casa de Moneda and amazing views of Cerro Rico. Will update more from La Paz after our time here, love to everyone at home xx
