Breakfast, then anaconda hunting. Translation: three hours of wandering thru the pampas (read grass and swamp) in “wellies” looking for a snake. Heather, part of the hard drinking couple from England (they’d both have a beer around 10am) ... Read more >

After speeding through Peru, we've now arrived in La Paz, Bolivia. A grimey and chaotic city, but its liveliness definitely makes up for it. There are street stalls everywhere, selling everything and nothing you'd ever want, and traffic and people ... Read more >

So… Bolivia is apparently on fire. It seems that this is the time of year to burn all the land for crops, and by the look of the air they really are burning ALL the land. In La Paz it is practically impossible to see the other side of the city. The ... Read more >

Sorry for having such a long break from writing, after potosi we went to Yuni and the net there was frustratingly slow so I didn´t feel like it. Potosi was a nice colonial style town, the highest city of it´s size, 4070m above the sea level. It is famous ... Read more >

So we arrived to La Paz a day early, and what a city it is, it´s so different to everything I´ve seen on this trip so far. I guess some might find it a bit intimidating, especially the amount of people and traffic, but now that I´ve gotten used to it ... Read more >
