hello you crazy cats! been vegging all day with huge hangovers from hel's big birthday bash. we had an old school party with the old favourite pass the parcel and old school food including party rings and cheese and pineapple sticks. great to see pics of Bolivia, one of my fav places i visited. did the locals lads on the isalnd of the moon still carry massive ghetto blasters to woo the local ladies??!! the road of death looks exciting, i saw a pissed up Bolivian walk off the edge! no one seemed to care that much that he most likely died! good ole Bolivians. those f*ckers know how to party. have fun surfing, catch some big waves dude. chow for now. xxx

Are I´m pleased Daisy has been out for a ride and your right it must be something to do with spirit! We were wondering the other day which bits of Bolivia you had done. We really liked the place, so far our favourite destination. what more DIY can you have to do?????
The organised trip was ace, really nice to have a big group to chat with on crap buses and eat with in the evenings and of course have some funny experiences and nights out together, we´ve just re-met up with a load of them, as half are carrying on to Lima on another organised tour and we got the chance to cross over again!
We´re staying in a hostel at the min with a TV lounge first chance we´ve had to just sit and veg it´s been great. Edward scissor hands has been on and hopefully the Thomas Crown affair later! xxxx

Arh well a small confession on the photo front, while most are ours and the water and views really were that clear some are from a professional photographer who gave our group a CD of extras!
And Al doesn't need to worry it was Chris's small rucksack that's gone missing lost by Areosur airlines but the sense of concern or speed to react is somewhat missing in Bolivians, in fact numerous from our group have found that their favourite phrase is "oh that's too bad" along with a shrug of the shoulders!!!
