Sorry for the lateness in updating = but internet has been scarce on the ground.
27/01 Border crossing to Bolvia , bus, ferry, bus it took AGES. Anyway eventually got to La Paz which on first impressions looked well Dodgy. Anyway had a meal out and that is when the fun began ... FOOD POISONING ALL NIGHT = Yep my room mate bless was asking if she could do anything for me in between my toliet stops and pukes in the bin!
Anyway the next day 28th was spent tucked up in bed.
29/01 Feeling slightly better I venture out = to be in for a massive shock of my life it costs 40 dollars to visit the famous San Pedro Prison = On you bike we aint doing that!
I then spend the rest of the day trying to get a venezuelan visa sorted before going out to this bar that is trying to be the Hard Rock Cafe. Dance the night away and do a bit of table dancing on the bar as they set it alight!
30/01Bus ride to Cochabamba = thats it it took again AGES!
31/01 Group outing to Jesus statue using the Telefrico. We come back down to the town to be met with this seasons ion thing ... waterbombs ... but pelted really violently! In the evening we take a night bus to get to Sucre.. having no toliet on the bus made for interesting night stops...!
01/01, 02/01,03/02,04/02
Waterbombing still occurring this time they just stop their cars and pour bottles of water over us!
Time spent in Sucre included city walking, clubbing night , visit to this massive wall that had dino footprints on it , haircut = yes it was scary not knowing what she was planning on doing! and TV watching: Tila Tequila!
04/02 = Bus ride to Potosi .
05/02 Potosi... me and a few of the girls from the group went on a silver mine tour, yep we dressed in the miners outfits and yep the compulsory pretending to do the Full Monty was done! Anyway the visit was really interesting not only did we see the conditions these men and young teenagers work in to deliver silver and zinc to the corporate companies we also tried out the 96 percent alcohol they have! WOW that stuff was STRONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!
After the mine tour we walked around town a bit more before having a cirlie sleepover with pizza and my attempt to cut Vickys hair which she thought was short afterwards!
06/02 Bus ride to Uyuni, town is desolate but lovely dinner of pasta!
07/02 Land Rover ride to Salt plains .see piccy inserted... buy loads of salt products ie trinkets etc before stopping at the Isla Incahuasi .. of course I took piccys of me jumping on the salt flats, sitting on the salt flats and yes the legendary perspective shots of me me juggled in someone elses hand!
08/02 Land Rover trip across plains where we see loads of colourful lagoons, volcanoes ... think Vicky has this awful video of Steve and I singing Britney Spears song "Not a girl not yet a woman"!
09/02 Journey across border to Chile, doss day when we arrive of me walking around the tiny town with the group trying to find an ATM machine that works!
10/02 Bike journey with Vicky, Andrea where we see the Valley of the Moon, an ancient town and a fortress. So impressed with myself with cycling up this steep desert road .. normally anything with an incline means I will get off the bike and walk it! Afterwards icecream break before updating this sodding blog!
Over and out... oh yeah the weather is wonderful, so hot, too hot really! LOL ... Im nasty I know!
