An unplanned night in La Paz

The bus from Rurrenabaque to La Paz was quite bad. It had rained recently so the road was even worse then normal. In the middle of rhe night we had to leave the bus because the potholes were so bad, so that chassis was sitting on the road. A couple of times the bus was stuck and we had to reverse a bit to build up more momentum. At 5 in the morning the driver had to repair the bus for more than an hour on the road. After 20 hours for the 400km we made it to la paz and found a bus connection to potosi, which later in the night was canceled due to road blocks. So I used the next day to watch the football game of chile vs Bolivia in the world cup qualifications. It was quite bad football and they didn't sell beer in the stadium. But the next try to get to potosi was successful.

El bus de la selva a la Paz era pessimo. Habia lluvia, entonces las condiciones de la pista eran muy mal. Teníamos que salir el bus varias veces y el bus tenía problemas mecánicas. Tomaba 20h para 400km. Encontré una conexión a potosi la misma tarde, pero estaba cancelado por los bloques. Entonces me quedé una noche mas en la paz. El próximo día vi el partido de chile contra Bolivia en los calificaciones del campeonato mundial. Un partido pessimo y sin cerveza. Pero en la tarde me fui a Potosi.Read more
