BOLIVIA!!!!!
Hi all..
Just a quickie here to let you know we are alive and well, and a little short of breath in a town called Villazon (3440m above sea level) on the Bolivia side of the border from Argentina. We are awaiting a train to take us to Uyuni to see the salt plains.
We are a little behind on photos as interweb connection struggle to download Flickr applications here, Jude is trying as we speak.
Well after Uraguay we headed back to Buenos aires to catch a bus to Puerto Iguazu! Special note at this stage goes to my super-on-the-ball-lady who - whilst we were waiting for the bus at the notorious Retiro station - foiled an attempted theft of my bag !! 10 out of 10 and a lot of hassle saved!
After a 19 hour bus ride we arrived in Puerto Iguazu, to an amazing hostel with a massive pool, they were also the first hostel who actually got our booking correct!! a good start, and things just got better, the food there was amazing! our room was clean and in the quiet area and of course the falls were incredible! photos can't do the scale or the force justice! we did both the Argentinian and Brazilian side which was cool, both completely different. On the Argentinian side we took a speed boat ride which ploughs in to some of the falls which was fun, and damp!!
We then set off Bolivia bound by yes you guessed it BUS!! 27 and a half hours to a town called Salta for 24 hours rest before the big push to Bolivia, and here we are!!
Well signing out, as altitude is making this hard work. apologies for the poor reading will improve once we have acclimatised.
