Catching up

I've not always been able to keep this thing updated as I should.
Hopefully I can post a few photos from Cusco and Puno soon. I have now crossed the border from Peru into Bolivia, via Copacabana. Tried to go to Uyuni and the famous salt flats 12 hours south of La Paz, but the wet season here has been harsh, flooding roads and making them impassable and sadly causing many many people to lose their homes.
This being the case, I will now not be travelling down to Uyuni. Instead I'm going to be in La Paz for a few days, which is fine by me in fact because La Paz doesn't deserve any adjective less than incredible.

It's noisy, unbelievably busy, chaotic, the air is thin on oxygen, because of the altitude, and thick with pollution and it's also incredibly beautiful. In an unexpected way.
