Well, it took slightly longer than expected to get back to Argentina! The train from Uyuni was full so we had to stay the night there and took a jeep to a random town at 4.30am where we were off loaded and waited for a bus for 4 hours which took us to Tupiza. Then we waited a few more hours and caught the evening bus to Villazon on the Bolivia-Argentina border where we spent the night. Then up early and it took over an hour to get through the border and we only j...

Yes, I know its been a while since I updated my journal. The week has passed in a haze of drunken nights and sleeping days! About time I let my hair down and Cuzco is definitely the place to do it!! Recap from before Cuzco. Went from La Paz to Copacobana which is sweet little town on the edge of Lake Titicaca. The weather was beautiful and the Lake sparkled and looked very inviting but at 3,800m, it would have been a tad chilly! Its the world´s highest...
