8/6 To Isla del Sol Direct bus but we changed to a mini bus to get to the border and again on the other side? direct my arse!! We arrived at the border with the usual walk through fun, stamps one side, then another line. We cross the border to Bolivia and welcomed Laura and Joe to Bolivia for the first time. After arguing for a while we get another coach to Copacobana. We were so hungry by this point and I don't want to sound ungrateful but after getting menus ...

A time to change (to Sol Andino) We simply got our arses out of that place as soon as we could and walked up to a different place, Sol Andino. Great cheap hotel, cheaper than the last and we had cable, two beds and the best hot shower in South America in our own clean private bathroom.

It was interesting however it was all a little confusing with everything in Spanish, everything. There was a huge room full of paint...

A dusty day We woke up dusty again and again we went down for 5 bolivianos eggs. We enjoyed a slow lunch and in the afternoon we walked to a park that housed the Eiffel Tower, or a small replica anyway. We traversed the city to see some sights but also to pick up the items Sarah found in the shops the day before. We both returned to the hostel and Sarah took a dusty rest as I hit up (or wandered) the market across the way. The market starts small but at the p...
