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 >

A change of fortune. We leave one of the worst places we have stayed in and move to a cheaper, nicer and much kitscher place. Lake view photographic wallpaper and all manner of mismatched decor. Great! Hit the markets in a big way today. So much stuff ... Read more >

killer walk

Tue, 2 Jan 2007 | By itchyfeet | Views [436]

A hearty breakfast and we hit the road for an 18km walk to Yampupata where there are boats to isla del sol. The ´3-4 hour walk´turns out to be a gruelling 5 1/2 with the sun beating down and the lobster skin to prove it. Annoyingly we get half way to ... Read more >

A ´non´day and necessairly so as a result of our New Years hangovers. Funny how we start each new year the same way: buckled. Thankful to have the refuge of ´La Cupula´to spend the day at. Watched About Schmidt and Eternal Sunshine, ate soup and relaxed ... Read more >
