Bolivia

We left La Cumbre after Marie had cooked us the first spicy meal we'd had since arriving in Argentina, as a farewell. Took a bus up to La Quica (border) on the wonderfully smooth roads, arriving with enough time to walk across the border with some japanese girls and a german biker. We lurched and bumped up the Bolivian roads to Tupiza where we stayed the night, in our first twin room after a long run of dorms, and the best hostel breakfast we´ve encountered so far. We left brefrswhed for Uyuni and booked the Oasis tour on arrival. We shared the bus journey with 3 other gringos and on arrival, went out to dinner to the best pizzeria in town. Delicious. Slept in the FREEZING mountain town with 4 blankets and fully dressed, and crammed ourselves into the back of a jeep in the morning, a little out of breath and with a slight headache from the altitude. The tour was incredible, landscape like nothing youve ever seen. Desert cactuses amongst salt flats and the hot sun beating down whilst you look at snow topped mountains in the distance. We stayed in a hotel made entirely of salt and made some great friends. Sharing oreos and exchanging music the whole drive, we really enjoyed the trip. We of course, took the typical perspective photos too which I shall put up on return to the UK. We have now arrived safe and sound in La Paz after a sleepless night on yet another nightbus journey, on which we got a puncture. 6am arrival = very tired and full hostel = no beds till 1pm. Till we meet again.... Love to all XX
