Flag of Bolivia Potosi, Bolivia
Saturday, October 14, 2006

After another memorable bolivian bus experience I am now in Potosi, mostly known for its mine and the tours you can do there. I have been doubting a lot about going in as small spaces and not very healthy gasses aren�t my cup of tea, but after all the stories of fellow travelers, I guess I just have to go check it out. That ll be monday!
