Steak, red wine, chocolate, pasta, cheese, dulce de leche….I’m not sure we will ever leave Argentina. From Chile we travelled by bus across the border to Argentina with Julius and Solynka (the couple we met on the salt flats tour), who luckily didn’t seem to mind us tagging along with them. They both speak Spanish so it was so stress-free travelling with them. And after so long just by ourselves it was really fun having some friends around. We got a bus ...

We had a couple of days in San pedro, chile, on the way to Argentina. It's a really small but lovely little town set in a desert mountainous landscape that looks like some sort or lunar landscape. Quaint shops nice restaurants and sandy roads. It was really expensive, we paid $US90 for our room! ($US35 is the most we'd paid on the whole trip to this point) because jolly did the exchange wrong, I thought this wasn't meant to happen when you travelled with an accou...

We had one false start getting to the salt flats in Uyuni - We arrived at the bus station at 8:30pm as we were told to only to find out that our bus had broken down and wouldn't be going to Uyuni that night. Somehow every single person travelling on the bus was told about this during the day except us and 2 British girls. We sat at the bus company office for ages while the 2 other girls got quite angry and upset with the staff, without realising that in this part...

We flew from Quito into La Paz which probably lost us a few backpacker points but neither of us could face that many hours in a bus. The flight started off a bit scary when Jolly was selected for a checked luggage search. We were taken out of the lounge, out to a little shed on the tarmac where my backpack was sitting there. A man dressed in an army uniform came over and proceeded to open and spend 10 mins going through my bag. He didn't find anything that he was...

The worlds most dangerous road (North Yungas Road) is a dirt road built on the side of a cliff in the 1930's to aid the transportation of coca leaves out of the jungle. At its height, someone died on this 30 km stretch of road every single day. The road isn't used by heavy traffic anymore and instead there are many companies in La Paz that take you down it on a bike. We decided to go with a company called Gravity, we had heard a lot of about them and we knew they...
