@#^*(^&^%#!@&*)^%$#@!!!!!!
Oh no! How awful for you both and quite frightening. You ever can be certain in such situations when in foriegn countries, who to believe, let alone trust. Thankgod you both got it sorted out, eventually and had a good cabbie.I completely understand your frustration ( had some of it with Emirates floor staff) and yeah, sounds like everything seemed to sewer from there. Hate that! The falls look just as amazing as they did before, love the butterfly effect and the stranded (probabaly not) turtie. Wardrobe malfunction big time Shelly...as for giving money to the kids/beggars, we do sometimes and other times we give sweets or pens. I enjoy to give. be safe xx

Hmmm the scene on the bus arguing with the Austrian dudes sounds familiar . Was the conductor named Manuel and was a waiter from Barcelona ? Was there a tall thin chap silly walking down the aisle ? Did you hear any canned laughter in the background ? Hmmm

WORTH THE VISIT
Since you guys seem to be covering every road, track & by-way in South America...not much to do in Paraguay...no matter...your superb pics of the ruins make it very worthwhile.

Para-why, indeed!
You've done a great public service in giving us the best of Paraguay (great photos of the Jesuit ruins), so the rest of us backpackers don't need to go. Americans have to pay $180 US to enter, so I wasn't tempted. Also, good thing you didn't buy that MP3. I met someone who bought a laptop there which turned out to be only the shell--no computer guts inside. Glad you made of out alive!

These pretzels are making me thirsty
The statue of JC was something I posed for at a naked drunken art class . They stole my artistic credibility....I cant wait to see what you send home if you can shock a bloke that is used to seeing cukoo clocks with butch and sundance riding around every hour on the hour...

Oh.....yeah.....its just Jesus!
hahahaha....you make me laugh Scotty...you two are definately becomming well seasoned travelers. Been there, done that!

I love that collected crap too, I was like that when I traveled through Europe, I still have that shit, great memories.Glad your both feeling healthy and not carrying more on your backs than you need too. xx

Why didnt the Hilton (sth american) serve the tourists eggs? Seems strange? glad to hear your shopping, still. s

AUTHENTIC TEXTILES
Amazing you go to a famous Bolivian market...and textiles made in China...probably snapped up by tourists...and I bet they look authentic. Reminds me of going to a Maasai mud village in Kenya...flogging woodcarvings locally made...and half the textiles made in China. As India is now the biggest producer of textiles...I guess soon the Bolivian textiles will be Indian, Chinese and the odd locally made...gotta shake my head.

So much for the LP!
Hey, thanks for setting the record straight! The LP said that this was a real foodie town, but it sounds as if you two really gave it a chance, and it appears to wanting. Thanks to you two, I won't be planning to make any long stays for language classes. I'll learn that subjunctive where the food is better. Hope Santa Cruz is tastier....

We may have just chosen poorly...we have a bad habit of that. In Santa Cruz at the moment and if we had a choice between the two towns we would prefer Cochabamba. Santa Cruz is certainly a bit rough around the centre. Sucre is a fairly good option as well for an extended stay. Thanks for your comment and we have been really enjoying your blog and spectacular photos, keep up the great work. Shelley and Scott

The wrestling looks interesting
While in Thailand we went to Thai boxing and it was an education and fun. Looks like the same it true for this.

Lovely views.
Once again the veiws are gorgeous and I've had some laughs also...poor Shelly, seems alittle strange that they keep getting away with the fake island thing??? Glad to hear you enjoyed the walk, it does look beautiful. As for the transporting of tourists, I dont think I'm a big fan of how they do it and what they do it in???? Always sounds some what dangerous. Be good xx
