in Potosiin Potosiin Potosi

all of us together!
well we began our journey today by getting up at 5 in the morning and left at 6!!

we arrived at the city of Oruro in about three hours. Not stoping and moving on to potosi, about an hour down thhe road to Potosi we stopped for our cuppa and some food... Dad's special burner boils the water much faster than a kettel at home. Me and Nady had a cup noodle each realising we didnt have a fork... We had to mix it with a pen knife and drink it. ariving Potosi in about two hours from the noodle stop!

we meet some frinds in Potosi and they took us to a nice restaurant. Potosi is the highest city in the world and even then we go to a rstaurant thats called the "mirador "that we had to then go up another 20 meters!!!

our journey to tupiza was very fast and smoth thanxs to the XTERRA! it took around another 3 hours... we found our hotel and spent the night here!!

total distance travelled: 794km

highes speed reached: 105mh

nos tomo 3 horas en llegar a la ciudad de Oruro, no paramos seguimos avanzando para Potosi dentro de una hora paramos para un tesito y un poco de comida!! el pequeno quemador de papa hierve el agua bien rapido!! yo y la Nady preparamos maruchan, descubriendo de que no teniamos tenedor para comer. tuvimos que mezclarlo con el cuchio de un corta pluma!y de ahi tomarlo.

Llegamos a Potosi en 2 horas aprox de la parada del Maruchan!! nos encontramos con unos amigos en Potosi que nos llevaron aal "Mirador" un restaurant a 20 metros del piso!! osea ahun estando en la ciudad mas alta del mundo teniamos que subir otros 20 metros solo para hacernos sentir mejor!!

El viaje a Tupiza fue rapido y plano gracias al confort del XTERRA. Lllegamos en tres horas, encontramos el hotel y directo a dormiir!

total distancia recorrida: 794km

mayor distancia alcanzada: 105mh

Not Mph!!!!
Please don't tell me you were doing 105 MILES per hour!!! Lord have mercy! You will be in our prayers. It sounds like a marvelous journey! Hope there's lots of leg room in that car. It looks like Joe and Ben have grown a half meter since we left. We love you all and can't wait to "hear your voices" in this blog!

Hi Meg. maybe we drive faster in the UK? 105mph isn't that big a deal for us. Good to hear from you Love Gray
