Om vijf uur rsquos morgens lopen we door het doodse centrum naar Hostel Carmen in de hoop op dit uur te kunnen inchecken. Oef een bed na twee nachten Een dutje van 6 uur en een douche later voelen we ons fit genoeg om een wandelingetje te maken. We lunchen op het gezellige terras van Gattopardo. Dit wordt ons stamcaf voor http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-241870.html One of our highlights in Bolivia was the country's wine making capital Tarija. Tarija was a beautiful town set among high rolling hills. We both agreed that the people in Tarija were some of the nicest and most accommadating in all of South America this could be due to all the wine drinking that was going on. Our time in Tarija was spent trying a bunch of different wines and touring some vin http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-222077.html Quelques photos prises lors de cette fte de San Roque les 10 et 11 septembre dernier. http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-201897.html La route fut longue et prouvante entre Colonia Uruguay et notre localisation actuelle Tarija Bolivie avec comme vous le savez ce dtour par Puerto Iguazu Argentine. Mais ouf que s'en vaut la peineEffectivement nous voici Tarija depuis dimanche soir et nous sommes tombs en amour avec la ville Il faut dire que nous y sommes arrivs un moment spcial de l'anne ici soit duran http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-201203.html Due to problems with this blog website I have not written lately. Also I believe some of my former entries are mixed around andor incomplete... Sorry for the confusion.I arrived back in Cochabamba today after a wonderful week in Tarija. Tarija is in the south of Bolivia about four hours from the Argentinian border. I stayed with the sister of a friend in Cochabamba what a treat it was to st http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-195981.html I dag besluttede vi at besge omrderne syd for Tarija hvor der produceres vin. Vi aftalte uden strre besvr med en taxichauffr at han skulle krer os derned vente og kre os hjem igen. Vi valgte et sted nr Conception der hedder Bodega Casa Vieja det gamle hus. Det er en 350 r gammelt hus hvor de laver fodstampet vin. Vi fik et par smagsprver og kikkede rundt. Der var desvrre ingen orga http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-189485.html Siden i forgrs er det blevet smadder koldt i Tarija. Folk de skutter sig og har vist alt deres tj p. Gadeslgerne med huer og vanter er kommet frem. Der er ikke varme p hotellet s vi har igen bedt om at f en varmeovn p vrelset. Vi har netop hrt at der ligger 5 cm sne i La Paz. I dag mdtes vi med det norsksvenske par Therese og Harald og deres brn Susanna og Julian p deres hotel Los P http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-188813.html Det blev s dagen hvor alt der kunne g galt gik galt. P en af restauranterne aftenen fr syntes personalet at de ville give os en isdessert fordi vi nu var kommet der s meget. Vi havde ellers undget is indtil nu men det s jo lkkert ud og det gik jo nok.... Jeg mrkede kvalmen i lbet af natten fik ikke sovet meget og kastede op om morgenen. Tania og Cristina klagede ogs over kvalme http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-184747.html dag gik vi s igen hen til Cristinas brnehjem. Jeg bar plsetasken med alt det tj Cristina havde samlet p nakken. Vi blev lukket ind og fik lov til at kikke rundt. Vi s stuen hvor Cristina havde boet men sengene var vk. I dag bor det der kun drenge p brnehjemmet flere af dem s ud til at vre op til 16 r. Desvrre mtte vi ikke fotograferer p brnehjemmet.

That means it's visa run time again. When we were in Buenos Aires this always meant a weekend in Uruguay. From here in Salta it's time to go to Bolivia. We have three options easily available to us so we decided to go somewhere completely new to us.We took a 5 hour bus journey from Salta to Aguas Blancas. We were delayed for ab http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Bermejo/blog-160745.html Traveling has been hectic. All this actually happened 23 weeks ago but enjoy nonetheless. This was another one of those entries with technical difficulties to make a long story short so unfortunately there won't be any pictures for this one. Sorry about that just let your imagination go.After the mesmerizing Salar de Uyuni it was time to keep going. Two people from my tour group one guy http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-140974.html Unfortunately this is the concluding day of my Christmas vacation and it so far has been a blast travelling through southern Bolivia. I know can't wait until April to have more time to see more of the country. I would have to be at the Tarija airport at 3PM so my time was kind of limited today. The night before we agreed to meet Ira in the main plaza at 10AM to head to the town of Tomatitas http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-128354.html Before I went to bed the night before it had started raining and sure enough when I woke up the next morning it was still raining. Today my friend Nadia from La Paz was arriving in Tarija and I was thinking of going to the bus station to meet her but because of the torrential rain I stayed in bed because I figured here bus would be very late due to the weather conditions. I was wrong She ca http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-126354.html Wow I can't believe that I got ten hours of sleep in on vacation. Collapsing at about 1030PM the night before my body most have needed some sleep. When do I ever go to bed that early My plans for this day was to go to a small town north of Tarija called San Lorenzo to explore it and make my way out to a waterfall which is suppose to be really nice to see. So after getting ready I headed http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-126349.html After a nightmare night from Tupiza to Tarija Tareha I arrived safely in the city of Tarija more than an hour behind schedule. I really didn't mind arriving late because this means I ended up in Tarija at 645AM instead of 530AM much easier to look for a hostel at this time than at 530AM when there is still little light. The first thing I did when I got off the off was to make sure that http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-126026.html FUNNY THINGS ABOUT ARGENTINABOLIVIAIn Argentina along with other South American countries many if not most small intersections are without stop lights and stop signs.

Tarija is towards the south of Bolivia and is most well known for being the main winegrowing region in the country. I went with Tia a Danish girl I met through my work and was going there to meet up with the child she sponsors. So we did that Thursday and... I'm not http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-55150.html Thank the Good Lord for two wonderfully laidback Peace Corps Bolivia Volunteers Rebecca and Lauren. I was in southwest Bolivia with no plans for the Holidays. In order to make sure I didn't spend Christmas alone reading The DaVinci Code in some dark musty hostel I invited myself to little Peace Corps Christmas party in Tarija Bolivia. I didn't know Rebecca or Lauren but I decided the PC bond http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-35505.html Odds and SodsSpanish LessonsAs you heard from Simon our rather elegant elderly neighbours invited us around for a BBQ last weekend called Asado here. What he forgot to tell you was that in our efforts to make converstation with them our misuse of Spanish nearly caused an international incident and contintues to be the source of much hilarity...Over dinner we asked our neighbours if they had he http://www.travelblog.org//South-America/Bolivia/Tarija-Department/Tarija/blog-9455.html
