Potosi W e arrived and headed for dinner, hoping to find something that was open at 11:30pm.  We walked around and the only places open were the funeral parlours and one Chinese restaurant that only sold rotisserie chicken.  So, another meal of ... Read more >

Sucre

Sucre   I left Cochabamba and after a 10 hour bus ride arrived in Sucre.  It was easy to see straight away why this is where the government sits.  It is a beautiful town, a little more modern and still looks quite colonial.    The bus ... Read more >

It was quick through Bolivia and we went to find a collectivo to La Paz.  Easily done and an hour and a half later, we were in La Paz, dropped off near the black market.  This was nowhere near we wanted to be so it was another 20 minute walk towards the ... Read more >

So I finally left Peru from Puno and crossed over the Bolivian border.  It was an easy crossing, though, carrying our backpacks up hill to the Bolivian border at an altitude of 4000m had everyone huffing and puffing. I met a Brit and French girl on the ... Read more >

Happy Birthday to me! Okay, so it was last week but in my family these things often last more than a week anyway. It was Todos los Santos (All Saints and All Souls Day) so a long weekend and of course Halloween on the Saturday. I joined the fervour ... Read more >

After a good breakfast I leave San Juan and head towards the Salar. After about an hour I meet two bikers eating peanuts. Another two crazy nomads who want to go through more sand and against more wind ;-). The Argentinan Damien is cycling from Alaska ... Read more >
