Checked in for my flight to Santiago changing at Lima no problem. Was thinking that I hadn't seen any chain restaurants at all in Bolivia, all independent restaurants and cafés. Well until La Paz airport that was! There was a Subway! Of course I didn't have it if that's what you're thinking! It was 2am lol! It took ages to get to the gate! There were only 2 people at the immigration desks and a HUGE queue of people so that took forever! Then they wanted to che...

What a fun and active day! Went on a bike ride this morning with some others. Since I haven't ridden a bike in about 10 years, I was a bit nervous as I was out of practice. At first there was a problem with my gears so of course that didn't help me when everyone went speeding off and I couldn't keep up! But the man managed to fix it and I felt a lot better! The road was so bumpy at first, my arms were hurting after a while! But eventually it got smoother and be...

Now in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. Left at 6am so a very early start! It was a long journey. Tried to sleep but there were so many bends in the road that it was impossible to!

It was a comfortable bus and we were provided food. Biscuits for breakfast (how healthy! - I was glad I had my o...

Quickly went to the main street to have a last look around and to the post office to get my passport stamped. Couldn't forget that! Got picked up for the airport. When I got dropped off I got given a Moai necklace, bless them. Waited for ages to board the plane, the flight was delayed e...

Another interesting day! Back to Santiago tomorrow for the night. 3 nights is enough here, any longer and I'd probably get bored! They arrived on time this morning. Yay! Had mostly the same people as yesterday, a few new faces. A different guide this time. A lot easier to understand too! Went to Ana Kai Tangata, a cave with paintings. It has mostly worn away over the years. Headed to Orongo. Before going up, I managed to get a ticket which I was meant to get ...
