Got up reasonably early and had brekkie in the hostel, a lovely yoghurt and fruit! That may seem a bit odd me mentioning what I had to eat but I havent had yoghurt since I've been here plus I dont eat nearly enough fruit and veg here, hence the combination was lovely! We headed out to the bus station to book our return bus tickets to Cusco, a nice walk albeit in some places full of traffic and fumes. We booked to com back on the 0800 bus the next day. Not my cho...

An early start from to La Paz. We caught the 8am bus. I didnt mind the 3half hour journey too bad although poor Harry felt dreadful so we were swapping seats so she didn have to sit next to the smelly local/could get fresh air! Bizarrely at one point we were asked to get off the bus then we realised why! the bus had to go on a ferry boat to cross the lake, a strange sight! We had to go over in a motor boat. The sight of La Paz as we approached the "basin&q...

YEP, that´s me with my new purchase! I just love the hats the women wear here and was determined to get one!

The children are tho little sh*tes at times...Diago being the worse! The class is for 5 year olds but he is by far the biggest and looks about 8! He's a complete bully and does not...

The weekend started off well. We were invited by Helen and Andy to their restaurant to "try out" their Halloween menu at a discounted rate! We had a great night, 3 course meal punch followed by a couple of Mojitos (well it was Happy Hour 7.30-10.00!!!). Have to say mojitos are now my absolute favourite drink so Paul, we now have a use for all that mint in your garden...you remember that green stuff in the corner!). After the restaurant we headed for Cro...
