Bolivia in Pictures

Well, it has been a while since our last blog, and since a picture tells a thousand words, we will be catching up through photos, enjoy! Double click to see the pictures properly.

River crossing on a two day horse riding trip in the rural area around Tupiza, South Bolivia.
Prepared to go into the local miners tunnels in Potosi. Miners work with hand tools and a hammer for pittance in attrocious conditions, a pretty eye opening experience which will make us thing twice about buying precious metals and minerals.
It is market day in the small town of Tarabuco. Indiginous poeple travel from nearby villages on foot and bus. It is bananas!
Locals sitting around during a talent competition in Tarabuco. A moment of realisation when you look up and you are in a crowd of Bolivians in traditional dress.
Our escape from La Paz, surrounded by the Cordillera Real.
The view of lake Titicaca from Copacabana, a cool pleasant evening after the bustle of La Paz.


Bolivia from lake Titicaca, paddling by a reed bed on a day's kayaking trip...that resulted in burnt hands and very tired arms.
