Traveling

Anyway Just spent 4 hours deep in a silver, tin, zink and lead mine. Potosi used to be the biggest city in the world and is currently the highest city at 4000m. Small cramped, dark, diesel generators running almost asfixiation! Tiny spaces 2ft high crawling on all fours. Then we met the minors! So so happy, proud and passionate about what they do! Drinking white spirt with them toasting to their forefathers. Then they let 3 sticks of dynamite off 100ft from us, so scary and they found a huge vain. One of the best experiences of my life... had so many so far in the trip but this tops it!

18 hours ago: "Today we arrived in Sucre, lots of dinosaur discoveries with a huge children's dino park. So of course we went and played on the triceratops see saw... Then got told of by the infant police then they continued to follow us throughout the park... Best children's play park ever!"

Lucky bastard...!

"Today I got to see something I've wanted to see for my whole adult life! 4 days trekking climbed to 13,000ft 26miles, doesn't sound a lot but at 13k the air is thin! Amazing experience with amazing people. Machu Picchu did not disappoint. What a day."

Looks like you're having fun out there Tom :thumbsup:

If you bump into a guy called Hadrian on your travels, stay hi. He's a mate of mine and currently out there with his girlfriend Lisa, doing pretty much the same journey as you.
 
It is fun but the traveling is insane. In the next 7 days I have over 50hrs of busses. Just took an 11hr night bus from Cuzco to Arequipa, shattered.
 
Did not realise you have been away that long already, with a growing family there :lol:
