So we awoke at about 2:30am we woke up to catch our 3am bus. Lukily we only had a short walk around the corner and then I saw it. The massive cue of pure Bolivians. This was 100% a local bus, no other tourists or whiteys to be seen anywhere! Everything they tell you not to do, catching a bus with local pickpockets and rapists and also getting it at night. Brilliant. When it pulled up it was obiouvly nothing like the previous coahces we were used to, no toilet and...

We planned to leave La Paz on the firday night, even though we had been warned against, getting a night bus in Bolivia we had little choice as there was only night buses leaving La Paz.

After Macchu Picchu we returned to Cusco planning a big night out to celeb...

Lares Trek Day 1: We woke in our hostel around 7am again (these GAP people love their early starts) and got some breakfast there. Over here hostel breakfasts usually consist of these bun things with butter and Jam, and thats pretty much what this was. Not the hearty hike fuelling breakfast we we´re hoping for! I did however foolishly take a huge swig of this papaya ´juice´that they have over here which is more like jelly. eugh. We then got in a coach and lef...
