-Bolivia is still very untouched by tourism compared to Peru. No tourist buses, few tourist hotels, few tourist restaurants, so the feel was much more authentic. Along with the authentic feel though we needed to be a little more alert and on our toes in Bolivia.
-Everything here is incredibly cheap and affordable. We felt like royalty at times because the restaurants and hotels don´t have inflated tourist prices.-Drinking and driving is very common in Bolivia, a bit unfortunate.
-Our experience with the food has been incredible, much better than Peru. Great prices, good choice and neither of us got sick once the entire time. We started eating their world famous ´´Saltinas´´ which are like a beef or chicken and potato stew wrapped in a sweet pastry cooked in the oven.
-I (Colin)have hit my head (27) times on low doorways. Renee is at (3). I think I am winning. -Bus rides are a bit of a challenge, the buses are very poor, no bathrooms, rough ride. Prior to the 8 hour bus rides we must partake in 12 hours of dehydrating our bodies so we can make it to the destination without peeing our pants.
