Tupiza to Uyuni tour - Day 1
I'd been looking forward to this trip SO MUCH and hoped that we'd end up with a decent group, I wasn't disappointed. I'd already met the English couple Emily and Antony who'd been weighing up the various options for the tour, and a Dutch mother and ...

Cold... Colder... La Paz

Deep down in the mines
... bought some coca leaves (from which cocaine is made) to chew, as it helps with the altitude. Chewing coca is only legal in Bolivia and Peru, and literally all the locals chew it. It tastes disgusting but is quite nice when drunk as a tea! ...
La Paz- hmm gut...?!?
nach drei Stunden Busfahrt von Copacabana aus sind wir schlussendlich inder Daemmerung in La Paz angekommen. Die Stadt liegt in einem Andental und der Bus schlaengelt sich auf Serpentinen die Strasse herunter, somit hat man einen wunderbaren Ausblick auf ...
