Valencia is just a 4-5 hours trainride from Barcelona, we didn't succeed to leave Friday night because we were bringing my friends dog, and they wouldnt allow him on without seing several papers - but the day after we succeeded with a smaller regional train instead. This meant we only had 1,5 days there - so we had to make the most of it. Short and cheap train ride - definitely an easy weekend trip to do while in Barcelona. Then arriving at a small cute bed and breakfast called Balcon Al Mar, really nice standards for the price (60 euros for a double room), which would have been at least twice as expensive in Barcelona. We went for a long nice walk around the city, at the marina then to the beautiful beach, this part ... read more

9/8/2013: Arrived in Lima and went to the Point hostal in Barrio Barraco around 13, got a nice room and some good breakfast/lunch while waiting for the girls who had taken the plane instead. When they came we went for a walk and found a starbucks on a small plaza. Walked a little more and had dinner at a nice burger place. Really delicious. Back to the hostel where we had some beers in the patio and tried to teach some Brazilian guys Danish and they ended up writing a not very understandable song. 10/8/2013: Got up a little late and went for a walk downtown around Plaza de Armas and the city center - the city is quite quiet for it's size but very pretty. In the evening we had dinner at the hostel and ... read more

30/7/2013: We spent the first part of the day relaxing in Rurrenabaque before catching our flight back to La Paz. Arrived early in the evening and found Hostal Solario for 20 bolivianos per night. Really cheap and an okay place - no luxury though. We went out for Thai food, really good food but it took a long time before it came. Then we met up with our friend from Valparaiso and her two friends who were travelling the opposite way. 31/7/2013: Got up at 11 feeling a little sick.. Spent all day relaxing with Maren who I studied with in Chile and her two friends from back home. We went to Cafe del Mundo which became our favourite spot in La Paz - and later we went shopping and for a walk downtown. We had ... read more

22/7-2013: Got up at 5 to leave San Pedro. We headed towards Bolivia at 6:30 and on the way we had the most amazing view of the Andes. Just before the boarder to Bolivia we saw a beautiful laguna with a couple of alpacas and a lot of flamencos around. It was really easy to cross the boarder and before we knew it our time in Chile was over. First stop was a viewpoint to see Volcano Ollaque from the Bolivia side. We also saw Laguna Negra where we stopped to have lunch but the wind was really hard so we had to eat in the car. Next up we saw Valle de Rocas, a valley full of volcanic rocks. All sights where really beautiful and all along the way we could see dessert with the ... read more

5/6-2013: Arrived at the airport around 16 and it didnt take to long time to go through customs and everything. I took a taxi to Calle Armenia in barrio Palermo where my friend Guri lives - it's an area with a lot of small pubs, cafes and stores. In general after my taxi tour I was very impressed already, a beautiful city and very nice and talkative taxi driver - only minus was him telling me he didn't like Chilean people. They have the same love-hate relationship we seem to have with Sweden. It was so nice to see Guri again! We stayed in her room for a while talking and then went out for some really tasty tacos at a small cool restaurant. After that we went to the movies, we wanted to watch Hangover ... read more
