And now for some good news :) The night bus was awful, but I did find a tour immediately and it was absolutely superfantastic. South-West Bolivia is the most beautiful region I've ever seen, and I landed in a very fun group so we merrily chatted the cold nights away.

I've got tons and tons of pictures of fantastic, otherworldly landscapes, and some movies as well, e.g. one where I run towards a hundred or so flamingos sitting on a lake until they get scared and all fly off gracefully, and one where I walk between pools of boiling mud at 4900m altitude.

Got much to tell about it all but that will be for after the trip. Will try to post some pics soon, but right now I'm heading back to La Paz by night train - I'm skipping Potosi and Sucre.
