First of all Lau says thanks for all her birthday messages......I´ll come on to how we celebrated in a second!!!

It´s been really eventful since our last blog and we´ve started to find warmer weather. The salt flats at Uyuni were amazing and we had a full day checking them out. The whole group jeeped out onto the flats and we´ve some unbelieveable photos. (Managed to borrow a camara from our group leader but haven´t got the lead to upload.......sorry).

Some of the group had a bit of a scare.....one of the wheels dropped off the last jeep. Luckily just as they were setting off but it could have been really nasty.....Bolivian health and safety isn´t the best.....you should see the electric showers!!

Overall the day was great but the best was yet to come.The group went out for a birthday meal and then onto a cocktail place a few of them had visited the day before. We clubbed together to buy Lau a couple of interesting cocktails......basically the mugs were in the shape of a man and a womans rude bits (Lau´s made me write that......I wanted to be more descriptive), anyway haven´t laughed as loud for ages. Again photos will be provided at some point. All in all a great night was had by all.

Next day was a very bumpy drive day to Tupiza, our last Bolivian stop. There were a few sore heads but Lau was surprizingly ok.

Tupiza´s lovely, a small little village with loads of hikes to mupliple canyons. So we´ve been checking out a few of those today in the sun.

Tomorrow´s another drive day and this is our last hostel day for 9 days....Lau´s really looking forward to the camping!!! We´re off to Salta in Argentina which is one of our main activity locations......rafting, quads, zipp wires etc etc

The internet is useless so we´ve read all the message but it takes ages to accept them....sorry. I´m also struggling to get hold of any footy scores so some messages re these would be much appreciated.

Love you all, even Gaz who is really grumpy and Bobbylank who should just get back to work and stop moaning!! Bye for now.xx

P.S. Nev, hope the AS level went ok.

P.P.S. Lyns, hope you´re not sinigng Maria songs to Riley.:-)
