Cerro Rico Silver Mine - Charlie

 

 

 

We took a bus to a road with a really disgusting 

alley with lots of dog poo 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

💩💩💩and a few 🐕.Outside there was a little 

stall the tour Gide said we can buy some coco 

leaves and some juice 🧃 for the miners ⛏️⛏️⛏️ . 

We went up the poo💩 infested alley with lots of 

sewage up to a door 🚪 .Which  lead into a room 

with a door 🚪 at the other side we went in to 

a room with lots of shelves covered in boots 🥾. 

We put plastic bags on are feet 👣 . Then we 

put on the boots 🥾 and some water proof 

trousers and some water proof jackets 🧥  . 

And hard helmets 🪖 and then the tour Gide 

attached lites to our helmets 🪖.Then we went 

back down the poo 💩 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 infested alley .And back into

 the bus 🚎 to the mines ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️ .


There was lots of carts full of rocks 🪨 being

 pushed by people who had helmets 🪖 and boots

 🥾 and football ⚽️ T-shirts the carts were coming 

in and out of the mines⛏️ .Then the tour Gide took 

us into the mines⛏️ we had to go into the side 

tunnels to avoid getting ran over by a cart .

Finlay and mum found it claustrophobic and 

went back.  Me and dad continued deep into 

the mine and went down a tunnel that didn’t 

have tracks in it and the tour Gide showed us 

the machine that drilled.  


There was a metal miner pushing a cart. 

The man showed us all the different types 

of crystals that you can find.   At the end of 

the tunnel there was a devil dude that we 

gave coco leaves and pure alcohol and 

pure tobacco so the mine wouldn’t collapse.  


Then we went up a ladder in a tunnel that 

was 100% uneven and we carried on going 

down it and found another 2 metal people 

one with a pick axe and one with a drill. 

Then we went out the tunnel and there 

were 2 carts going one way and another 2 

the other way.  We had to go flat against 

the walls while they flipped a cart off the 

rails so the other 2 carts could go past.  

Then we left the mine and found Finlay 

looking at stones.

Carbon Monoxide

  We arrived at a hostel and had a great time playing  cards with Becky and Keen who were on a trek as well.   After dinner we went to bed in our rooms. Dad was  complaining about there being generator fumes in  the room but I wasn’t fussed so soon I fell asleep. I  woke up with mum and dad shaking me. I didn't  know where I was, who I was or what I was doing  there. I wanted to sleep but I felt horrendous.   Mum half carried me half dragged me outside  where I threw up .  Mum and dad stood beside  me, steadying me. Soon I could stand after 20 mins  later I went back inside to a new room and went  back to sleep. We woke up and drove to Uyuni  hospital where Charlie got oxygen. blue lines   The driving tour company gave me and dad oxygen.  I personally felt worse after but dad felt better. A fterwards we chilled out at are new hotel. Finlay Monday 16th June was the worst night of my life....

    We drove to nazca  to see the nazca lines.  Dad said he wasn’t coming on  the plane  over the nazca lines! Mum thought he was  just being silly but after the flight I wish I  had been with dad. The flight was horrendous the plane did  a figure of eight over each nazca line tilting  to one side then the other so every body  had a good view! I was being sick into a  bag the hole time, Charlie was sick all  down himself and mum was sick a bit  in a bag! I HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤢🤮🤢🤮🤬 🤬🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

The Pantanal - Finlay

Image
  In the pantanal in a pot outside the dining room  I found a snake!  Mum and Charlie had gone to  fetch a game to play and I was left at the table  outside.  I went to put a leaf on the lawn and I  thought there was a piece of rope in the shrubs  as I looked at the head of the rope, turned  its head towards me and hissed. I stared in  shock at it for a moment and then began  calling “SNAKE!” Repeatedly. The snake I soon  learned from the guid (stephan) was called a  parrot snake. It had no venom, no fangs and  only grew up to 1 and a bit long ,much to  mum’s relief. The body of the snake looked  like rope and its head was a beautiful  turquoise,green and blue. In the pantanal mum spotted a jaguar! We were  going on a driving safari and hadn’t seen much  when we came to a big dead tree with a dozen  or so vultures in it . Mum said “is there something  moving at the bottom of the tree...
