After a very pleasant bus journey (we even got dinner!) we eventually arrived in Mendoza.Argentina's wine capital!As it was Easter weekend it was a nightmare trying to book any accommodation and actually never did book any.Luckily there was a guy at the bus station handing out flyers for a place that looked okay so for the ease of it we just went with him.When we arrived we were greeted by this larger than life (and larger than most human beings) guy.Ariel(!) was...

We left Tupiza and Bolivia and were heading for Argentina- a place we had heard so much about and were definitely excited to see. It did however mean another bus jopurney, but we are well used to these by now. We had to take a short bus to a place called Villathon, still on the Bolivian side and then walk about a mile to the border crossing. This was basically a road which had a queue on the side. Wewere in the queue for ages because there was only one guy de...

After spending an extra day in Uyuni for me to get over my altitude sickness we decided to get moving and head across the desert to Tupiza in southern Bolivia.

First things first we headed off to find something to eat, and endewd up having pizza. Apparently you ...

We got an horrendous night bus from La Paz to Sucre. It took about 14 hours but that wasn't the problem. The screaming baby sat 2 seats away from us was the problem! We travelled with Charlie, a lovely lass who we met in Copacabana. Apparently she needed to get out of La Paz as she was suffereing from altitude sickness but the truth is we are too much fun to live without!! Hahaha! Once we got to sucre we got a cab to the centre to find the hostel. Tom was sat u...
