#58 Up Close and Personal with the Bolivian Police - Torotoro to Samaipata

We are not sure why Jesus is holding a baby
T-Rex as advertisement for the National Park....
A comment on creationism perhaps?

Not content with getting up close and personal with a puma our next stop was Torotoro National Park, home of the Tyranosaurus Rex. Well its footprints. In between our jurassic adventures we had been invited to the home of Kiwi-Bolivian family living in Cochabamba whom had read about us on the net. Cory and his family have recently returned to Bolivia to set up Bolivia Bound, which offers motorycyle and 4x4 tours of Bolivia www.boliviabound.net. In our days with them, we were treated to some kiwi hospitality, and had a ball playing with their adorable bilingual children, ages 4,5, and 6. It was to be our last taste of home comforts in a while, as the next few days proved challenging.

#57 Job Vacancy: An Intrepid Opportunity - Villa Tunari

Looking for more excitement from your work? Interested in walking a puma every day for a month? No. Then how about a bear, or possibly a jaguar? If large mammals aren't your thing there are opportunities to work with spider monkeys too. The word 'job' is used in the loosest sense of the word as you will be required to pay a small daily allowance for the privilege and in return receive only basic food and board - no money. If you a daredevil by nature, fit, and would not object to living in modest surroundings then read on for further details. (I'm serious about this - it's really possible).

#56 Three Days and Two Nights on Another Planet - Salar de Uyuni

We wound our way into Uyuni, a dusty empty town on the outskirts of nowhere, but buzzing with tourists. Why? Because around the corner is the Salar de Uyuni, the salt flats of Bolivia. And a little further south, the emptiness and stunningness of South West Bolivia.

#55 The Mountain That Eats Men - Potosi

At 4,030 metres Potosi has a claim on being the highest city in the world - a fact not easily forgotten while wheezing our way around the city's streets. Between gasps of air we admired the colonial-style cathedrals, which can be found on every corner of the city's cobbled stoned streets, a relic of its former grandeur. But the real reason we, and so many other tourists came to Potosi, was to take a tour through the working silver mines of the multi-tinged mountain which casts an imposing shadow over the city.

#54 Living like Bolivians - Sucre and around

While not slaving away on the grass plantation we were partaking in local customs, playing football, and trying local delicacies - generally being one with the Bolivian people. Or something like that.
