Off to the country!!! Lovely!!!
Isn´t it funny how places work. How you judge them and how one person can hate a place and another person love it? Well Santa Cruz feels to me much more relaxed than the rest of Bolivia to me. I suppose this feeling started on the plane (well maybe even at the airport when two 7 and 9 year old girls befriended me), then on the plane, the two men ( …

Samaipata: Rust Regelmaat en Reinheid
... is het navigatiesysteem van de auto (met West-Europese navigatie DVD) onze redding. Je kan het navigatiesysteem gebruiken als kompas. Volgens de kaart moeten wij Santa Cruz aan het zuid westen verlaten. Als goede zeevarenden cruisen wij op kompaskoers door de stad en komen wij opmerkelijk genoeg uit op de juiste weg naar Samaipata.

Was für ein Chaos - oder: TIB - this is Bolivia
... 1. Gang motorbremsen weil sonst die Bremsen überhitzen. Daneben ständig volle Konzentration weil die bolivianischen Bus- und Lastwagenfahrer die Strecke als 2-spurig betrachten. Ob die nächste Kurve eingesehen werden kann spielt keine Rolle, man überholt hier einfach. Ein entgegenkommendes Auto bricht den Überholvorgang ab und fährt rechts von uns in den Graben. Man muss ständig mit allem rechnen, die fahren hier wirklich total kopflos. Es kann passieren, dass man ...
