7th August: We took an early bus (7am) to the border of Bolivia at Yunguyo where we had a very confusing border crossing (had to go to many placs to get passports stamped, money changed, and then work out where our bus had got to), had a lunch break at copacabana (full of stret markets) and then spent ages trying to work out our next bus (Bolivians make it all very confusing!!). the strangest part of our journey had to be the lake crossing (which we didnt know ...
