Hi Everyone!!Again ignore the photo having real trouble uploading ours of Potosi.Having left Sucre we headed to a mining town called Potosi. This town not only the worlds highest city was also once very very rich on par with New York and Paris (we are talking a long time ago) due to its mining of silver.Nowadays they still mine only a very little bit of silver but mainly zinc. So whilst we were there obviously we had to go down a mine as you do. First stop we had...

Hi Everyone,On our way from Buenos Aires to Bolivia we decided to stop in a small place called Salta. The town itself seemed quite a traditional Argentian town with lots of people dressed in tradtional costume. We spent the afternoon wandering around the town admiring the old churches some of which have so much gold in them they are almost gaudy. We also went up on a cable car to there version of the Christ which also had great views of the town or would have if ...
