No, Im not dead. I have been travelling from Chile to Bolivia in a 4*4 jeep for the last few days. Incredible experience. Youve never seen anything like the scenery. Completely Dali-esque. We saw a red lake, green lake, volcanos, geysers and of course the salt flats which are bigger then Switzerland. A salt lake as far as the eye could see in every direction. Im travelling with a wicked group of Irish lads from Cork & Limerick. The only problem is Im starting to use phrases like ´Lets balm out´ (relax) and ´lets ball out´ (lets get going). The first night we stayed in a shack and despite my sleeping bag and numerous blankets, I nearly died from the cold. We all had early stages of hypothermia not to mention not being able to breath because of the altitude sickness. The next night was much better although still -15. We stayed in a building made of salt. Very cool. The lads taught me how to play the card game 45 and 110, which passed away the night.
Im in Bolivia now. Despite not eating chicken, eggs, salad or the water Ive still managed to be the only one in our group to get diahorea after just one day. Thank god I brought some medication from home. The toilets here are horrendous. Bolivia is completely different to anywhere Ive been so far. For the first time I realy like Im in a developing country.
