The start of a brief summary of Bolivia

After Chile I entered Bolivia via the dessert on a three day jeep tour; the tour was amazing and I saw so many cool things there is just no way I can summarise in a few pictures. The same is true for the rest of Bolivia which I loved, such a cool country.
















The other people were really cool on the tour so we had alot of fun


The Salar



We arrived in Uyuni and I bought a bus ticket to Tupiza, 8 hours, no problem I thought...


The bus


Road + rain + river = scary


Going through the river was pretty scary I have to say, we had to wait in the dessert a few hours for the river to go down... only a bit though... Bus broke down in some weird little town so had to sleep on the bus in the town square. Bolivia is cold! 8 hour bus journey ended in 26 hours



Got to Tupiza and booked a two day horsriding trip, probably should have thought more about the fact I had never ridden horses before. Tupiza is famous as it is where they filmed Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,




My horse was called Broncho and he prefered to gallop rather than walk...


They made me wear the hat!


It´s fair to say that I was pretty sore after two days on a horse. It was a lot of fun though.
