We had a lie-in today, a 5.00 am start and we’re straight out of the door and out there amongst the early morning weather. We thought that the air in our room was cold, outside was a fair bit colder. Unlike last night when I made my way back to the hostal after the sun had set, I now had more than just a T shirt to wear and my acme "I am a tourist, please hassle me" alpaca cargidan was serving me well. Our first stop for the day was a geyser field an hour or so from where we [View Full Entry]

A 4.00 am start to the day, waking up within these walls of salt, I had to question where I was. Many times recently I lose track of where I am in my semi-conscious state. We’ve often been moving so quickly, it’s disorienting and at times quite disturbing to not know where you are, let alone what day it is. Your conscious mind kicks in though and corrects the anxiety, and today I remember that I’m on the edge of the Salar, sleeping with my friends, and ready for a new adventure. A swift breakfast and we’re on the road, or [View Full Entry]

Hi it is Omer In Uyuni we went to a desert called Salar. Actually it´s not a sesert it´s a desert made out of salt and only now starts the adventure! Day 1 - We went to visit a cemetery of trains. The trains that are there, are not in use any longer, because they were working on coal, and now the trains in Bolivia use gasoline. Then we went to the Salar. First of all, we went to mountains of salt. Then we went to a factory of s [View Full Entry]

Hi, It has been really long since I wrote an entry, so my kids decided it is my turn this time to tell the story of our adventures in Bolivia after returning from Rurenabaque (Pamapas and Amish). And if the kids say I should be doing somethin, I better do it... After returning to La Paz from Rurenabaque, Tal decided he has to make some strength and courage test - he went biking on the 'Death Road'. It is a gravel road that stretches over ~60 km with many curves. It is very narrow and on one side there is the [View Full Entry]

... nach einer ungemuetlichen Fahrt, in einem sehr alten Bus sind wir Nachts in Potosi angekommen. Es gab nicht viel zu tun, ausser ein wenig durch die Stadt zu wandern und eine Tour durch die beruehmten Minen zu buchen. Nachmittags haben wir ein Kloster besichtigt...auf jeden fall sehr interessant.Es war ein kleines aber reiches Kloster und frueher haben die reichen spanischen Familien ihre zweitgeborenen Toechter dorthin geschickt, im Alter von 15 Jahren.Es gab nur Platz fuer 21 Nonnen und ihr einziger Kontakt zur Aussenwelt bestand aus G [View Full Entry]

The chicken bus to Potosi only cost me £2.80. I felt somewhat over charged considering the the death trap on wheels which I was about to board would be lucky if it make it to the end of the street never mind Potosi. When I got on the bus, a lady was sat in the seat which I had booked. Now, under normal circumstances I would have let her sit there without a problem, but the amount of times I have been asked to vacate a seat whilst in South America because it has been booked then it felt quite good [View Full Entry]

Nov 1, 2009 I expected to wake up late since we didn’t go to sleep around 3:30AM, but when I looked at my watch, it was only 7:00AM. We only slept for 3.5 hours but we both slept well and were wide awake. We were still in awe and partially in denial that my pack got stolen the night before. Since my clothing didn’t take up too much space, I had all of our toiletries and other items we used daily, such as our toothbrush, toothpaste, face soap, lotion, sunscreen, make-up, bug spray, plug adapters, sleeping bag, fleece blanket, and Justin’s [View Full Entry]

Still a bit drowsy from the overnight bus from La Paz, I arrived in Uyuni on Wed 28/10, still undecided on whether to do a 1 or 3 day tour of the Salar de Uyuni, the world´s largest salt flat. Given my recent bus experiences I didn´t want to sit in a Jeep for 3 days (they let you out for 20 minutes at a time) so I chose to do a 2 day tour of the Salar and a couple of the lagunas. The Salar was absolutely beautiful, although I imagine it can get old very quickly. However, despite my [View Full Entry]

Semaine 15 - Tupiza_Bolivia; Humahuaca & Iruya_Argentina Comme a l'accoutume, le bus de Uyuni a Tupiza fut grandiose, et mit un temps pas possible pour faire pas bp de kilometres. Les Boliviens ont le chic de vendre des places de bus sans verifier si elle n'ont pas deja ete vendu dans d'autres villes que le bus traverse ! Dans un petit blede a 2h de route, j'ai donc laisse ma place a une femme qui avait une quantite pas possible de sac, et donc prenait plutot 2 place qu'une ! Je suis alle m'assoir au fond ou j'avais la place mais [View Full Entry]
