For his birthday we have headed out to the Island of the Sun, where the whole Incan thing started. Inca legend states that the king flowed from a sacred rock located on the island. The place we stayed as lovely – brilliant views after scrambling ... Read more >

After a short 3 ½ hour bus trip and a quick stop at immigration at the border we arrived in Copacabana – not quite as hot as the song says but still gorgous right on the lake. There’s going to be a huge festiva here in a few days and the bands are ... Read more >

Ok. It seems my preconceptions were justified and I was not doing Bolivia a disservice at all. Having sat in the station for 3 hours after arriving 4 hours late, our train finally leaves Uyuni at 6 in the morning. 7 1/2 hours late. It gets worse. We crawl ... Read more >

Our last day in Uyuni pretty much resembles all the others. Our suite has to be the poshest room we´ve ever stayed in. Its actually got a 3 piece suite and is big enough to get lost in. We bump into Ben from New Zealand and he sows the seed in our heads ... Read more >

As expected, these days are dragging on a bit. There´s feck all to do in Uyuni and the internet is so slow that even trying to while away the time is frustrating. Stil, we have managed to organise a few things, including accommodation in Brazil. It gets ... Read more >

After a shaky start (no hot water) we eat a decent breakfast (corn flakes!) and hit the road for Salar de Uyuni - the worlds highest and largest salt plain. We stop at a token crafts market on the way (as you always do here) and look around the worlds ... Read more >

We leave La Paz for Uyuni and it´s a long day of travelling. A 3 1/2 hour bus journey followed by a 7 hour train journey. An actual train! In South America! So good to be on a train. With a dining car and everything. A real novelty to eat a half decent ... Read more >

With the amount of stuff we´ve bought and sent home we could open a shop. Albeit a small shop catering solely for hippies. Strangely, even though we´ve had 8 days in La Paz it hasn´t really become boring (despite the lacklustre journal entries - note ... Read more >

For a change its me who goes shopping: a hoodie for about 8 quid and a good pair of hiking shoes for about 40. Bolivia is cheap! Looks like we´ll be sending more stuff home. A bad day for Sonya who seems to have come down with something like my affliction.... Read more >

26 kilos. A good guess. 900 Boli´s to post which is about $112 i.e. bloody cheap. Will be a novelty to get home and open bags of goodies. Again I find myself sitting in a doctors waiting room. Why is there never anything for men to read in waiting rooms? ... Read more >

An uneventful day. Packed two massive bags full of things bought over here. There must be 25 kilos if not more. I don´t know how we do it. That said, I guess we would have to spend hundreds to get the equivalent stuff at home. Here, you spend a fraction ... Read more >
