Time for the next quiz! As we were in Bolivia, all fruit that we could find were potatoes, and if we were lucky – some onions. So as we finally reached Puno -Peru – we agreed that we should eat more fruit. So, Kira was sent to supermarket (another thing we haven’t seen since Argentina) to buy some. There were two huge shelves full with fruit. Kira could identify two sorts of them – banana and pineapple. But what is the rest?! If you need a closer look, you’ll find them in the album ‘fruits’. The prize for the winner is a video message from Peru!

Evening in La Paz
Evening in La Paz – you might not see much but you can hear it well. We were looking through the window and wondering how the hell did we manage to bike through this?
La Paz
La Paz! Today we’ve reached the big city and had frost on our tent for the first time since Patagonia – the winter is coming. The few trees we find have yellow leaves and people are working in the fields and picking their quinoa. We’ll stay here for few days and now have the choices to make (again) – what would you do in La Paz?
Day 211
Day 211, 5055km, Machacamarca. Happy Easter everybody! To celebrate this occasion we’ve (finally) reached altiplano. It greeted us with headwinds, so only half of the fun is left. Next – La Paz.
Day 180
4764km, 180 days, Potosi! Last week was very hard – the mountains in Bolivia are really brutal (but the people are very friendly) – we started at 3000m height in Tupiza and finished at 4000m height in Potosi, but were climbing up and down brutally in between, going as low as 2600m (twice) and as high as 4350m. Nevertheless we made it!
End of Argentina
Day 168, 4409km – La Quiaca. The day when we reached the end of Argentina came! We spent 4 months in this beautiful country with many deserts and mountains and there were many many days, when we looked at the road with no end and thought this country just won’t end at all… From Ushuaia with the penguins through Patagonia with the winds and Mendoza with the deserts and Salta with the forests to La Quiaca at the height of 3500m – a tiny part of our big trip is done!

One more ‘guess what it is’ quiz! Found in San Salvador de Jujuy.
