Pablo & Cherry

Ever since coming into Bolivia we're more acutely aware of being on the 'Gringo Trail', as we're forever bumping into travellers met in previous towns, hostels and cafe's - which is nice and creates a special kind of cameraderie, not to mention the value of swapping notes on activities and destinations.
Special mention must go to Pablo and Cherry, our travelling companions of the past week (since the salt flats), who successfully taught our boys to swear in Spanish, were great company with a shared sense of humour, and who very kindly volunteered to child-mind the boys so we could go out for a drink with another couple we'd met back in Chile (get us, the social butterflies).
Pablo will forever be remembered as the man who christened a purse a 'lady pocket' (so wrong, but so funny), and Cherry for braving a chilli so hot she had to brace herself as if in childbirth. 
The intensity of travelling makes you feel like you've known someone forever after just a day or two, but I think we've made two more good friends who we'll hopefully catch up with again further along the 'trail.
