My observations on our trip through Bolivia I am pleasantly surprised. As far as I know, Bolivia has a bit of reputation, particularly La Paz. This is bolloks! We walked and walked, day and night and were never put in an intimidating position! It’s been 10 weeks since the last […]

Luckily we managed to wake the Bolivian border guards so we could get out. Same to get into chile. We could have just driven round, but that may have had unexpected consequences. Only scratching the surface of Chile. It’s such a massive country. Last coup was in 1973 and General […]
