The night we returned to La Paz we headed to Uyuni by bus, taking 11 hours. We had already been warned about the terrible road surface and the hairpin bends! The freezing cold temperatures hit us as we disembarked from the bus and we were in desperate need for a hot drink. The small town of Uyuni is one of those towns which would not exist were it not for the large number of tourists passing through. As my Lonely Planet guide puts it, it is a ¨climatically chall...

I have never departed so quickly... It only took 5 minutes from sitting in the departure lounge to being in the air. The 16 passenger Amazonas flight only took 40 minutes but it was like being on a roller coaster swooping through the sky - marginally better then the flight Liz and I took to see the Nazca Lines. On the plus side we did have a picturesque view of the snowy capped mountains and the amazon rainforest. Our journey to the Pampus began at 9am the ...

North Yungas Road Known as Death Road, is by far the most dangerous on the planet! (So I have been told!)

A horrendous journey ahead of me! Taking me 25hrs to get from Rio to La Paz via São Paulo, Santiago, a cargo stop then finally making it to La Paz. A journey with that many connections can never be straight forward. If staying awake for 8hrs in São Paulo in the middle of the night with all my valuables wasn't hard enough, when I got to Santiago and had serious difficulties trying to find the right connection I wanted to just curl up in a ball and be at home...

Had a fantastic nights sleep and was ready to be a tourist and visit Christ the Redeemer. However I when we arrived at the station it wasn't our day! There was a Jesus cam so you could see the view from the top and it was way too cloudy you couldn't see a thing! I was so disappointed because my final Uni design project was based on Brazilian Coffee and I had to buy stock images and this would have been the perfect opportunity to take my own images! I tried again ...
