My last day in La Paz - The most dangerous road! We woke up really really early and headed out up the mountains. We were told to wear layers because it would be cold at the top but as we cycled down would get warmer... I was a little nervous and made sure I told our tour guide. He was this wacky guy with a long ginger goatee... but he had some brilliant stories! The best being that he was actually the founder of Gravity and started up the commercialisation of th...

We thought we would be driving till 5 but it turns out we got here at like 2 which is brilliant. Basically because im leaving on the 14th really early in the morning, I only have the 13th to explore La Paz. However, I am doing a Bike tour on the 13th all day so I really only had this afternoon to walk around. Im pretty lucky I can do the bike ride too - if we hadnt got the extra day in La Paz, the bike tour was set for the 14th and i would have missed it. Anywa...

So we arrived at a pretty similar hotel to Potosi. Come to think of it, i think this was when i had a headache, not in Potosi.

Im pretty sure he had at least 6. And they all have funny names like Coca Leaves are not Cocaine shots and the 7 Deadly Llamas. Theres a lot of emphasis on Llamas in Bolivi...

From Salta we left on yet another lonng truck drive. Crossing the border from Argentina to Bolivia we left a pretty rich country to one of poverty. You pretty much saw it straight away when i changed 1 Peso to 2 Bolivianos. There was also a lot of fuss at the border with running back and forth getting things signed, wasnt very efficient. i even had a medical examination - just my pressure checked but not for the last time. I bought a hat and jumper and gloves wh...

So today I had a scortching shower just like the ones at home it was brilliant. And breakfast was at 9 so i had a wicked lie in. Basically I was all ready to go. Theres a river that runs right next to our campsite. We got our helmets waterproofs and life jackets on and after a little talk on how to raft - we went rafting! It was so much fun and you dont just sit on the rafts you paddle. A lot. and you have to shove your feet under these inflatable things so you ...
