The journey from Chaco to Sucre was not one of our favorites, that is for sure. Bolivia seems to have a lot of spots that are named ‘the highest ...’*, which is pretty understandable when you enter the country. Despite the fact that the winding Andean road offered us the most tremendous views we could imagine, it was far from being labeled the most secure. Majority of it was just a sandy path ...

Our RTW lasted 583 days = 1 year, 7 months, 5 days. That means 83 weeks/13,992 hours/839,520 minutes/50,371,200 seconds of LIVING THE DREAM We love to travel. It is as simple as that ;-) 30.09.2011 we embarked on the trip of our lives ;-) in 2007 we got inspired by our friends (Monique and Nigel who constantly travel and have been on the RTW) and since then we have been thinking about it all the time.

Great blog, photos and tips, but.....
I got so excited reading that you were heading to Tupiza, where I am now. I thought we'd finally meet, but then I saw your November date. I'd planned to be here then too, but I'm a couple of months late--waaa. However, thanks for the tips and the thumbs up on Potosi. How great that you were here before the massive rains we're now having--your photos sparkle (as did your romantic story of The Kiss). Happy travels!

hello
thanks Tara. yeah it sucks we are so behind with our blog but some how we cannot get on top of it...once we got late with it in Asia (some countries had no internet connection) we simply don't have time now to catch up - too much to do on the road haha It is always fantastic to meet other travelers so it is such shame!!! enjoy Tupiza B&T

Nothing worse than getting sick on the road
When in Peru we loved the vibrant colors of SA.
