14 hr bus journey and our last night bus, Done! Santa cruz is hot hot hot, 30 degrees or there abouts. We are staying in amazing hostal (Jodanga) with its own pool. So between sunbathing and swimming we have managed to drag ourselves away into the centre for an explore but too hot to be away from the pool for long! Great way to relax and finish off the trip of a life time, Love Love Love South America x x x

Uyuni is tiny, you could walk the whole thing in about 20mins lol, so after booking ourselves onto a 3day tour, we did the only thing you could do in Uyuni.........drink cerveza and eat pizza! Day 1 thankfully didnt start until 10.30, meaning we got the last chance of a lie in! First we went to a train graveyard, which has been around since the time of Butch Cassi...
