I caught the bus in the morning from Copacabana to Cusco. On the bus were also the three english guys I had been traveling with before. We crossed the border into cusco and then waited for a commercial bus to come along on which we were going to hop onto. After 10 minutes of waiting the bus arrived and we got on. The ride took about 10 hours, but the ride wasn´t too...
Unfortunately the next few days weren´t much better in Rurrenabaque, weatherwise that is. It kept on pooring down on us and flights were being canceled every single day. The people at the office of the flightcompany kept on promising us the flights would go the next day. But every day it happened to be the same old thing – no flights. After 3 days of...
I spent two more days in La Paz doing nothing much interesting, other than waiting for my flight to get to Rurrenabaque. I went up to the viewingpoint for some amazing views over the city and bought some typical bolivian stuff at the local market. I said bye to Ross, as he moved on to Peru. Finally on friday morning I got up and ready to catch a taxi to the...
In the early morning me and Ross arrived in La Paz, one of the biggest cities in Bolivia. We grabbed a taxi from the busstation to a nearby hostel. After getting to the hostel I decided to go and look around for another one, as this one turned out to be fairly expensive, considering Bolivia. We walked around the city to another hostel I was recommended by other...
Sucre turned out to be an amazing city. Something you wouldn´t expect of Bolivia. Beautiful marble buildings, nice parks with palmtrees and flowers and a really nice chilled out vibe to the whole city. After we arrived I went to write my blog and check my emails. Afterwards we went for some dinner. After dinner we had a drink in Joy Ride, a bar formerly owned by...
The day after being really sick I was feeling better and better. I bought a busticket for a bus going at 6 AM the next morning down to Tupiza. Afterwards I met up with a dutch guy who I had met along the way a few times already. That night I felt good enough to have some proper food again, so I went together with the dutch guy to a pizzeria and had some...
After waking up the next day we found out that both of the ATM machines were still out of service. With the last few pesos we had we bought a busticket to the next town – 90 minutes away – to get money there. The bus left at 2PM…. It took us nearly all day just to get some cash money, but we had no choice obviously. Once we got back we had some...
After nearly missing my bus in Cordoba I had a nice 12 hour ride to Salta. I slept most through the night and got fairly fresh to Salta in the early morning. I walked from the busterminal to my hostel which happened to be about 15 blocks away. Once arrived I had some breakfast and went to check out town. I was in luck, as every saturday at noon there is this ritual...
After a wonderful ride through the Andes I finally arrived back in Argentina in the late afternoon. This time in Mendoza. I couldn´t book myself into a hostel the day before, so I decided to just go and look for a hostel upon arrival. Once I arrived some guys came up to me again asking me whether I needed accomodation. While I usually tell them to get the hell away...
Sooo, after a busride straight through the night I arrived in Santiago in the early morning last saturday. Pablo, a guy we met from Santiago in Puerto Natales had invited us to come and stay at his place. We got to the busstation around 6 AM. We decided to just hang around the city for the first few hours, as we didn´t want to wake up Pablo by coming to his place...
