Mood: Sleepy
Music: REM - Automatic for the People
After signing off last night I went to a bar for dinner and ended up there until the early hours chatting to the son of a Scottish member of the House of Lords. Obviously a little drinking may have taken place. Mostly pints of a local beer at about £1.50 a pint. Nice.
Today I woke up with a sore head and have remained in such a state all day. This morning I had a 2 and a half hour drive from Sucre to Potosi. The road takes you up through the high hills and along lovely winding riverbeds (mostly dry). The area is home to many snow covered peaks and Potosi itself is 4100m above sea level.
This afternoon I went for a meal with my guide (adding llama to the list of meats I've eaten) and then went to the Mint museum. Rolf is pictured looked at a set of coins from the 1800s. Sadly some of the other things we were going to be looking at were shut as it's a Saturday. Tomorrow I get to go see the mines before going onwards to the salt flats
That'll do for now :)
Are you still there? Somewhere?
