My Colca Canyon trip was on 30 and 31 July, so I have slotted it in there.

Yesterday evening I met two travel writers in the hostel bar. They were very nice people. Why is it they get paid for their travel writing and I don´t? Probably talent.
After much investigation I have booked an overnight bus to Uyuni for tonight. The road, I am told, is sealed as far as Oruro and is then terrible, but the more comfortable train is booked out for days ahead. It only runs twice a week anyway. The objective is to get to San Pedro de Atacama in Chile.
I still haven´t met anyone travelling who has been to Paraguay. I´m beginning to wonder if it´s still there. Tales of good places to visit are numerous. There is an amazing amount to see in Peru and Bolivia. Yet many of the young travellers I meet spend most of their time in bars. Maybe my age is showing.
One highly recommended activity is downhill mountain biking. There are several companies that will take you to a high piece of road and lead you down several thousand vertical metres to the Bolivian jungle. The most famous route is down the world´s most dangerous road - although it is safer now that there is no uphill traffic to contend with.
I must away to the post office.
