    Villa Alota

    November 5, 2023 in Bolivia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    The scenery today was better. We cycled to the last village before our turnoff onto the Lagunas route. After an initial climb we got tomadmire the relief of the volcanos ahead for the rest of the day.

    The street was freshly made (maximum a couple of months old) eith very little traffic, and except for the 5 bft headwind on the last 5 km, the weather was in our favour.

    It still felt like a long day. After arriving in Villa Alota (again almost a ghost town) and finding the only open Alojamento in town there was still some bike maintenance, supply shopping and fuel top up to be done.

    Now it's off to a last - hopefully restful - night of sleep in a real bed, before switching back to the tent for the next week(s).

    There will be no internet along the Lagunas (as far as I know). So expect the next update in 10-14 days ✌️
