Copacabana May 21 – 24 We left La Paz around 8am and quite an empty bus which meant we could spread out and have at least two seats each. This also meant the journey went quicker as I had a little nap to make up for the early start. After a couple of hours on the road we had to cross a small part of Lake Titicaca. The bus went on a vehicle boat (if that’s what you can call it – it was a wooden rickety vessel which looked like it may sink). The passengers h...

La Paz May 19 – 21 We boarded the nightbus in Sucre and were glad to see that it was ‘Cama Suite’ which meant that the seats fully reclined. Obviously, being in Bolivia however, the roads were pretty bumpy and windy so it still wasn’t going to be the smoothest of journeys. We were just happy that our driver was sober (well he seemed to be), as drivers in Bolivia have been known to consume a lot of alcohol whilst at the wheel. Just what you want to hear w...

Sucre May 15 - 18 As is usually the case the bus journey took about an hour more than expected, but initially the bus was quite comfortable. The problem we had was that this bus didn't have a toilet on board and the driver did not want to stop to allow people their basic human rights! We stopped after about three hours initially and found a bush to go behind, but after this the driver refused to stopfor six hours until we arrived in Sucre! Not great when you are...

Uyuni May 14 - 15 We arrived in Uyuni around midday having already been up for almost ten hours, only to be told that we didn't have lunch included as they didn't have time to prepare it! I'm inclined to think that this was an excuse to get home early on a Saturday! Oh well...as the group were all going separate ways, some to Tupiza, others to La Paz and others staying in Uyuni we went for a nice goodbye lunch together in the local square. Uyuni itself is a bit ...

Salar de Uyuni Tour May 12 - 14 We were picked up from the tour office at around 8.30am after being told to be there at 8am and set off for the Chilean border. It was only five minutes down the road and a simple process of having our passports stamped on exit. We then had to drive for about half an hour through no mans land to get to the Bolivian Border, this gave us time to get to know the rest of the group. We already knew two of the guys, and the rest consist...
