8th-11th August Well only two days left in Bolivia and we are so sad to say goodbye to this amazing country. Minus the attempted pickpocketing incident everyone has been so friendly and the scenery throughout the country has been breath-taking at every turn. The fact that it is so cheap and we have been able to experience so many tours and still remain £1.00 under budget per day for this month makes it even better! The last full day in La Paz we ventur...

1st-7th August We only had one day rest in La Paz before we were catching the bus to Lake Titicaca. We did some more wandering and posted two packages of present's home. We nearly fainted when the Correos (post office) lady told us that two, reasonably small packages would set us back a mere £70! Those of you lucky enough to get something had better appreciate it, if the package makes it of course. We found an Indian in La Paz, which is something we have b...

26th-31st July Our taxi was reasonably punctual, by Bolivian standards, and we got driven Grandy style to the airport.

I made a huge error by persuading James we should go through security early and then realised our plane was delayed and there was no wifi, we had to talk to each other! When the plane finally a...

23rd-25th July We arrived in the dizzy heights of La Paz after a reasonably comfortable night bus. Our hostel is in a great location, despite the many steep hills that you have to climb to get anywhere in La Paz. We were a little concerned as the hostel is situated directly above Oliver's Travels, a famed gringo bar, but luckily for us party goers it is being renovated and is now down the street. After settling in we booked our amazon trip, flights and Worl...

20th-22ndJuly We were lucky to get onto a three day trek around the Cordilleras and Managua crater with Condor trekkers, an eco-friendly organisation. The first two days we were with a big group and we hiked down the 'inca trail' which was a pleasant walk, not too steep and some great views. We arrived at a small waterfall where we had a vegetarian lunch (yep the company provides only vegetarian food, and actually both of us loved it all!) James went into the...
