Uyuni it's self is a bit of a desperate little town, very dusty and dirty! The poverty in Bolivia is so marked compared to Peru, Chile and Argentina! The currency is good, making everything so cheap here. The Salt Flat tour was very good :) we had a great guide, the evenings were as cold as I imagined but with the hired sleeping bag the night was actually really hot... Probably due to the thermals and amount of layers I had on too!! The first day we were on th...

Today I filled the gap before my night bus by quad biking :-D It was great fun, riding up and down the windy cliff, through the dusty towns and farms, over the moon valley with its spectacular views and finishing down in the lagoon, watching the locals paddle their little boats back from school!! It was great fun and fast :-) I felt invincible as I've already completed 'The Death Road', haha!! Although some parts were just as hairy!! At 9pm I set off on a very...

La Paz is the highest city in the world and it sits in a bowl between the mountains and hill sides! Its cold!! Today I went on a free city walking tour which was really good and well researched. We started outside the prison, where we were tol...

The hotel is nice, but freezing and cold shower... Not happy!! At breakfast I spoke to a few other guests and they've given me tips how to use the shower so ill try again later! I went on a boat trip today to the Isle of Sun, it was very beautiful and once the sun had rose properly very warm too! The guide made us do a minutes silence at the sacrifice table in the sacred land and poured a natural well water over the back of our heads to bless us with luck. Whi...
