Hello!! Ok, so I became VERY lame the last few days of travelling. I was SO tired it was quite unbelievable!!! Yes, I'm home now! I've uploaded photos to: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/philippa.reed there are a few albums to check out if you're interested, and some dumb photos of me for you to have a giggle at. Anyway, after leaving Meghan in Copacabana I got a bus across the border into Peru and to Puno! Not the most exciting place in the world...had 15mins h...

Hey again!!! Sorry there are no more photos - I´m too lazy and I seem to be behind in uploading them.. I will upload htem when I get home. So, now i´m in Copacabana - NOT the beach in Brazil! I survived the Death Road - not as scary as I was expecting!! I enjoyed the biking in Sucre far more. Bolivia voted on a new constitution on Sunday and La Paz was similar to a ghost town.

We arrived in Potosi around lunchtime, a very depressing dusty town. Higher than La Paz it doesnt have any vegetation t...

BOO!! Not sure of my last documented exploits but after meeting the girls (Megan and Natalie) on my tour, and our guide, Huaskar, we left La Paz for Sucre! A considerably nicer place than La Paz, it´s known as the White City as most of the buildings are whitewashed. Our first adventure was to the Dinosaur Footprints with a hilarious guide, "Juan Carlos (?), John Charles or JC, but not Jesus Christ" was his introduction. Very amusing though! The prin...

Hi there!! Hope everyone is doing groovy wherever you are!! So, I´m currently in La Paz at 3600m!! I was really worried about suffering altitude sickness but it all seems ok!! So, what have I been up to... I left Buenos Aires on Sunday and flew to La Paz. Considerably cooler than BA - strappy top and cardigan (occasional scarf) weather, but really easy to get burned! Bolivia has a national identity which BA didn´t show all that much. Here the women (they ha...
