cochabamba

hey so me and shelagh are in cochabamba in bolivia, you can google it.
its really high, and i keep getting heaps dizzy ahhaa...

well we have been here awhile now, um5 days i think but we havent done much cuz we have both been really really sick!!! shelagh and me are taking turns with food poisoning. .. .. . not so fun. lukily (and unluckily) our room we are staying in has a tv with cable so we have serously just lied in bed sleeping and being sick and watching MORE terribel movies haahahaha oh shit.

um, we went to the biggest jesus statue in the world or something, like you know in romeo and juliet that big jesus statue?? like that. at a the top of a mountain we had to catch those like little cable car things up the moutain cuz we couldnt just climb it cuz the altitude here makes us so diszzy like if we walk up 3 steps we have to have rest ahaha.....

anyway, it was scary going up in the thingys, but at the top it was soooo amazing and beautiful and that day jesus was closed so we couldnt climb him but we just chilled out there and, wow the mountains here, holy shit, they are just, amazing, indescribale like WTF there so big and everywhere and stunning.

have i mentioned our bus ride here? i thinñk i blogged about the bus ride to arica, but the bus rise to cochabamba was NUTS there was fucking hole in the wall in the toielt and shelagh nearly fell out and died when she went to it at 3 am cuz...for some reason, the bus leaves at 1am?? and it was such a scary ride, we were going up some HUGE ass mountains, thousands and thousands of meters high and bus driver was speeding like a mother fucker and we almost crashed off the cliffs like serisly 70 times, and kept almost hitting trucks aaarrgh i was so freaked out, no luxourious movies for us just constant near death, i prayed to jah, god, and mother earth to spare us.
ha ha.
full on.

yeah so, now here we are cochabamba, the city of eternal spring, its up so high its frickin micro climate and it has ETERNAL SPRING:
pretty cool.
the biggest markets in south america are here, keep getting lost in them.
some stuff here is so cheap and then i mean, my spanish is so shit, and i dont haggle so some things same price as australia ahahah, this woman charged me like 7 australian dollars for a packet of bizcuts and a bottle of sprite the other night but realy, i mean thats how much it would cost at seven eleven anyway in melbourne.

so i am dieing to get out of the fucken city omg man i cant take it cities are sooo intense rahhhhh!!!
i just did all this stuff and organised all this shit so we can go to santa cruz tomoro and from there to a permaculture farm in the jungel, thank GOD cuz NO wwoof places are replying to me at all its been like weeks and weeks so ive kind of given up hope on it, its really annoying cuz i guess i baaased alot of my plans of times being here on doing that and now its becomeing more and more clear its not an option and im trying to salvage and make new destinies that arent shit...ha..

after we get to the farm there is no internet so maybe i wont be on the internet again for awhile.
did i mention we are really sick?? ¿ ¿¿ ¿ cant wait to get healthy ......

so after farm, im not sure what gonna do. we are meant to go to argentina but if you can google maps and see the distance between buenos aires and santa cruz in bolivia ....its twice the distance of sydney to perth and bussing that will be SO SHIT haha like not even worht it

maybe get a flight but there like 400 dollars,
or we can come back to cochabamba, then up to la paz (thats stil in bolivia) , from there we can go to COCOCABANA (like the song???) and lake titikaka....... and then if have money could try to cross the border and go to Cusco in Peru........its all realy um, daunting and im not sure what is the right descision, cuszco is where machu picchu and jungle and stuff is.,....... but we have a free flight from buenos aires (argentina) to santiago (chile) that we can use, so i keep thinking oh i dont wanna waste that.
its hard to think clearly when your sick.
i def wanna go back to chile and see my friends, me and daniela were speaking about going to the south of chile cuz she has family home there we can all stay it would be cool i think ...

also i made a friend in chile called diego and we spoke about making some guerilla gardens in chile and i still wanna do that and i am really stoked on it.

hmmm.....having troubel keeping this up to date....... lots on my mind i dont know what to do!!!!!!
i orginally wanted to go to peru but at this point im not sure if its possible and it seems like its really harrrrd to organise once im there, ugh i cant be bothered writing in here anymore hope it wasnt boring blah blah blah
love everyone so much
