On time we got on the bus once again, just that we were the last ones this time 😁 Aaaand it was 4 in the morning so we fell asleep directly after getting on the bus. Waking up occasionally on the way we saw the landscape changing and got more and more beautiful views on the endless plains... When we reached the border we were told that it's closed currently and will open up soon 🤷♂️ So we spent the time walking, sleeping, sorting photos and waitiiiiiing.
It took more than 5 hours until it opened and then - thanks to the border control that went to lunch - two hours to get into Bolivia. But at least and finally we made it!! 20 minutes later our driver, Vladimir, stopped at the bottom of a volcano for a little exploration walk and views - with luck - to it. It was such a relief to finally make it to Bolivia and to get the chance to walk around with a purpose! The highlight was definitely the green succulents forming hard bubble-like structures! And generally the beautiful views over the valleys!! The nexy best stop was at a laguna where you could see a lot of flamingos 🦩 Even though they were not that intensively coloured, how could they without shrimps?!? 🍤🦐 It was still impressive to see so many in a spot 🤩
Two more little stops and we arrived at our hostal where we were glad to be the only ones to get a room with a double bed 🥰☺️ The dinner was pretty good and we sat together with our group for a while chatting. Julia had asked them to be in the 6 person Jeep with us. A couple from Poland but living in Hamburg on a three weeks vacation and a couple from Germany on an open end world trip. They were all around our age and we understood each other immediately very good. But getting up at 4 and waiting for the border crossing we were all pretty tired and went after a shared beer to bed.
We're super happy to be in such a great group and we're looking forward to explore Bolivia together with them for the next days.Læs mere
