Day off in Tupiza Bolivia
When I reached the town of Tupiza in Bolivia on my bike tour, I took some time off to work online. This is my first blog post from my time in Tupiza Bolivia.
Tupiza in Bolivia
Blog post written October 27th 2010
Today was a day off in Tupiza. I wanted to get my bike looked at, which I did. (result!). The slight front wheel wobble is due to a badly molded tyre.. not great as these 26 * 1.75 tyres are incredibly hard to find.
Am hoping what I have will last until Argentina, which in my mind is a land of endless resources... guess I will see about that!

Tupiza is a lovely place, and I hope to write another budget travel guide about it, as I did with the one about Uyuni. On a positive note, the big paying Freelancer job is kicking off now... this means that I should earn a nice looking sum of cash to last me until the end of the trip.
As such, I will be taking up to a week off in Tupiza to get this writing done. This is a bit of an experiment for me... It will either work lovely, or prove to be a bit of a nightmare... Lets see what happens!

In the mean time, I will be updating by Twitter quite often, and maybe tidying up some of the site, as well as adding some pages behind the scenes.
