Day 41 – Potosi

1st July 2014

Today i woke up ealry still feeling sick, but wanting to visit the silver mines i pushed ahead

we first went to the miners market to buy gifts for the miners ( juice and coca leaves) and got dressed in the miners uniform, once we were dressed up we went to the silver refinery to see how the raw mineral is turned into silver ( very low concentrations) after the visit we headed to the tunels and had to crouch down a lot to visit the different worksites and statues found in the tunnels

PS: the pictures are probably bad because i didnt actually aim any of them, since i didnt have enough energy to do so

when we finished the tour i went straight back to bed
