Party Time I'm going to Uyuni next. I've discovered something which has put me in a severe state of depression. For one whole day. (note - I'm not trivialising depression here you understand. I realise a lot of people suffer from it but I hope you take the humour in the way it was intended. I myself went through a very dark period after my dad passed away. Label it what you like) Uyuni salt flats, around which I have based this whole journey, is dry. Go...

Never Again I spent the whole day chilling. As planned. Check out wasn't until 3(!!!) so after breakfast I hung out in my air conditioned room in a horizontal position making the most of it before this stoopid bus later! I showered just before I left to try and stay as sweat free and comfortable as possible for the journey (hilarious, I'm thinking now!)Round 2!I got to the bus station at 630 (for my 8pm bus). Sat till 7 then started thinking about yesterday...

Trying to Escape Ok so yesterday was Fri 13th. I have no idea what today's excuse is!The wifi was still down at the hostel but as a couple of them spoke English and were very helpful, I spent the morning sorting out how I was getting across Paraguay.

The next flight is Tue (and £300) for one, no answer fro...

Illegal Immigrant! Bus to Asuncion, the capitol of Paraguay. Only 5 hours but upright seat next to fat woman who hasn't been taught anything about personal space! We went through the "out" border and got my Argentine exit stamp no probs. Then we drove a while as usual to the entry border of Paraguay. But as we went through the town and people started getting off (and on) the bus I thought "hmmm no entry point onto Paraguay!" The 2nd border simply didn't hap...

Iguazu Falls Nature Trail Gorgeous day! I TOTALLY did the right thing by waiting! Wow! Just Wow! As you will see for yourselves in the pics. I got to the bus station at 730 in plenty of time for the 740 bus. The bus came at stoopid 8 o clock! I had my plan, given to me by a variety of people. Get there, get on the train to the highest viewpoint, do the 3 hour nature walk, then wander round the red trail then the blue trail. Sorted. I'm only going to tal...
