did i mention the films that you get on the buses here? well they're rubbish. a particularly non pleasing one was the film we we given for our viewing pleasure between santa cruz and uyuni. it was 6pm and the sun had set and we were in the middle of the andes, and there were small children still awake... so they put on the most gruesome psychological horror film they could find. i dont even know what it was, there were no subtitles and the sound was down, all you could really hear was the music. it was american i think.

Hey All, Well well well, here we go again. its been a long time coming huh?!? 5 days and already SO much to say, how unusual for me. so i guess i better get cracking.... finally, nearly a year after deciding to leave to country, 3 jobs later and several farewell parties and hugs we found ourselves aboard the lovely TAP air portgual 747 headed for Sao Paulo via Porto. the flight took 13hrs altogether (grim, although we´ve now realised that was the shortest journey we´ll do in south america) and was for the main part pretty amicable, save for the [View Full Entry]
