Taking a short flight back to grimey La Paz, we were amazed at the crowds of people swarming the tiny airport wearing "Kudai" t-shirts. We realised Kudai were a band flying in on our plane to perform that night in Sucre. As the screams erupted we saw four ordinary-looking people hop off the plane waving and videoing their fans before being whisked off by bodyguards. La Paz had not grown any cleaner since we left and as it was the weekend the amount of ...

We were excited to see Sucre looked like a traditional Spanish colonial town and loved its Western style, making us feel more at home! This time our hotel seemed like a Palace and we looked forward to spending three nights in one place. Despite it being so close to the end of the tour we eagerly dressed up for our first night out! The group were amazed to see each other in new clothes as we headed to Joyride Cafe which later turned into a small dancefloor with DJ...

Although many hours getting from A to B are typically boring, this particular time we both jumped to attention as the train screeched to a halt smelling of burning rubber after a loud t...

Not much to report from our entire day of travelling from Puno to La Paz, except at the border we had to leave the bus and literally walk between Peru and Bolivia. Ybone, our tour leader, had to pretend she did not know us as border patrol can be very difficult in letting Peruvians into the country. After stopping at Copocabana (not the famous one in the song!) for lunch, we finally arrived late afternoon in La Paz. Our expectations of Bolivia were beautiful sc...
