Welcome to my blog!

I would like to thank one Isaac Paine, for linking me his blog, and feeding me the idea that writing one of these would be a good idea. However foolish that idea is, in my case. Enjoy!

There's a distinct lack of time on this trip to make a half decent effort at updating this

For that, I apologise. Although I'd like to point out the layout of the keyboards here in South America is far from ideal for typing with any level of speed. They always have sticky keys, have all of the letters worn off from overuse and almost everything is in a completely different place that can only be accessed using a bizarre combination of the Alt and Shift keys. Anyway, enough about the keyboards, as I'm sure I have better things to talk about from the last month other than this. It's be a pretty boring post otherwise. Here's a good picture to lighten the mood.

Right now, I'm in Sucre, which is the constitutional capitol city of Bolivia. La Paz is generally recognised as the capitol,but Sucre retains this role, albeit in a more dignified sense. I feel there's far too much to talk about in one blog post, as I haven't managed to keep this updated as I go, but there's definitely certain parts that be mentioned in due course; of course, the part of my trip that I'm arguably looking forward to most is yet to come, but I'll have plenty of time to regale my adventure down Death Road in the coming days.

Here's a picture of me making a fool of myself:
Suffice to say, I'm having an incredible time,I've met some very bizarre yet wonderful cannibalistic Americans and I really don't want this to end any time soon! Here's a picture of a bunch of us at the salt flats,which are southern Bolivia. It's not too bad at all during the day, but at night it's one of the coldest, most inhospitable places you could imagine. We stayed in a hotel made of salt, which was pretty cool, but it had no heating. Less cool (or more, if you want)



Peace, all.
