Hola from Bolivia!
Hope you`re all well! We are now in La Paz in Bolivia. We crossed the boarder from Puno in Lima to Copacabana and spent two days there (Its a lovely beachside resort according to two English people we spoke to! Not really....) We were meant to visit some more islands from there but we decided not to as we needed a few days to unwind and relax after all this travelling we`ve been doing. Sometimes it really takes it out of you
Ha ha ha....
Anyhow we are now in La Paz and its a bustiling city of millions, there isn`t a lot to do here, we have spent the past few days shopping at the markets for more Christmas goodies, walking around town, doing some desperately needed washing and just chilling out really. Its very different to where we have been in South America so far, feels a little more dangerous, and there are loads of beggers on the street, you can definately see there are many people who are much poorer here.
We just found out we will now be stuck here for 3 more days...JOY....the train drivers have decided to strike and now we have to take a bus instead on Saturday! So I think we might go and check out the cinema`s and see what`s on, Apparently all the flicks are in English which is great news for us!
When we make our way out of here on Saturday we are headed for the Salt flats in Uyuni. So till then....
Take care & Keep in touch
