We arrived after leaving Humahuaca Tupiza, where we booked a Jeeptour for 4 days through the South of Bolivia, which is about 4000m high, full of Llamas, Lagunas, Volcanos and desert!

The first day we left about 10 o´clock and the schock was big – the guys who went with us seem to be very… strange! :( Unfortunalty the first impression didnt change at all  – it became worse. The good thing was, that Eva and I could speak german, so at least we didnt had to keep our anger in us. They never tried to speak with us. When we started to eat, they left, when we were finished, they came back and started to eat. They brought all there eating stuff although everything was included in the tour… Very strange! And the russian guy had the bad habbit of droping his clothes… THAT was not NICE at all! *brrr* And we ALWAYS had to wait for them- Always… *arghs* Never mind…

Octulia the cook and Rene the driver were nice and so we had in general a lot of fun.

First day was full of gras pusche, Llamas and Vicuñas :D This was really nice. We passed a few villeages and its just amazing how the people can survive out there – its freezing during night and hot during the day. The air is thin and there is nothing at all.

The next day we spent visting hot springs and nice lagunas :) In general it was a lot o driving, but we got never bored making jokes about the all the time chewing russian guy or his cuban girlfriend who seemed to be his slave ;) or watching the so different landscape from what we are used to.  During night we slept in small villeages where no heating or shower or even electricity exits (ok, just a bit solar energy ;) ) It was COLD…

Rene had a really strange music colletion with him – that was funny as well… He likes ballads – even to much for us ;)

The third day we visited the Laguna colorada with the white and pink flamingos… The water had an amazing color and the view was just great. Then we saw the treerock and went to the volcano bubble place… :D That was really stinky and smelly, Eva has the pics so I cant load them up :( Next time you see them.

The last night we spent in a Salt hotel where everything was made of salt – funny. Last day we saw the very white and huge Salar the Uyuni. We had a lot of fun and Rene took some greate pictures…. :D

Now we are in Potosi the highest city in the world on that hight at this size: 4060m. Tomorrow I will visit the mines and then we go to Sucre the capital of Boliva!
