Bolivia is great sure I've been as sick as a parrot (more on that later) but this place is finally what I've hoped for in South America. The scenery is spectular, the culture very unique, the people lovely, sure it's much tougher travel, the food is just ok, the wine just passable and the internet is frustrating but everything is as cheap as chips.God it seems an age since I last updated but guess it's not really that long ago.

Well that said what I have seen of this country although brief was lovely.

(we shall see).Well over the past few days I´ve been a very bad tourist. All I´ve seen is the inside of clubs, bars and hotels (oh and a night bus) - but hey we´ve had a great time drinking and after the bad luck of bre...
