Residencial Jordan Cochabamba

... to rest on stuffed straw beds. The way of life was simple, and focused much more on subsistence living tasks and goals directly related to keeping the family warm and fed daily. Most everyone farmed, and in every direction grew abundant crops of potato, tomato, onion, corn and numerous other local staples. Oxen helped till the soil, goats and sheep did the lawn mowing, cows gave milk, chicken layed eggs, and pigs and dogs roamed the dusty dirt roads at ...

So, i know this is long overdue, again. only by a few weeks, however here is an update on my remaining time in Cochabamba...<br><br>It would appear that timing is not really on my side, and after the whole suspected swine flu incident (and just for your information, neither party did have swine flu, though one poor man of the two was unfortunately quarantined with an unknown other disease... hmmm), i did finally manage one whole week of ...

We arrived in Cochabamba and decided to for once be sensible and sort out our bus to Toro Toro before we left the station to find a hostel...unfortunately we discovered that the buses only left on certain days and we had missed that days bus by 2hrs and there wasn't another one for 3 more days...by which stage we needed to be heading to Sucre. Re-evaluating our plans we ...

... after a quick round of introductions with half of those living in the house, i proceeded to head straight for my bed, fell straight to sleep, and managed to not wake up until later in the afternoon! An incredibly productive day right there! For the previous few weeks i had been in contact with John, and so had already organised myself some badly needed spanish lessons, with the initial plan to will my week with a whole heap of one to one classes ...

... het theather! Naar een of andere dansvoorstelling.... dit bleek dus een optreden te zijn van een lokale dansschool die 10 jaar bestond. Geen probleem op zich, ware het niet dat ook de beginners een rol hadden... en dat was wel te zien. Maar goed... voor anderhalve euro zal ik niet heel hard klagen, er zaten ook best een paar goeie stukken tussen.

... in the middle of the desert, about 30 huge rock formations appear out of nowhere. And just a Little separated from the mass is, although not the largest, the most impressive...the rock tree! A tree! Made out of rock! Cooooool....Ok finaly destination of the day: Laguna Colorada (the coloured lake). Again, wow. Red mountains looming over a bluey, pinky, greeny lake with huge White iceburg looking things, and flamingoes!! Turns out the pink comes from the algae and bacteria ...

... including...a zip line!!! and everything in working order...the weird part being, other then that it was competely deserted, was that all the buildings around the area were totally gutted, windows smashed and graffiti everywhere. The favorite being "no maturbation, guys and girls" Lots of fun playing around but the entire thing was super weird. Went out last night for a bit, might I mention that the first night I got here I went out with a couple other housemates to ...

Jeg ligger litt etter i denne blogginga, saa dette blir litt fritt etter hukommelsen altsaa... (Jeg er i skrivende stund tilbake i La Paz igjen..) Etter en usedvanlig lang og varm busstur kom vi endelig til fram Cochabamba som ligger ca 7 timer oest (?) for La Paz. Det var ordentlig deilig aa komme til varme igjen! Naar vi gikk av bussen fikk vi hoere av en "buss-mann" at Elin og Lene -maatte- reise den kvelden, dersom de ville komme seg til Villa Tunari. Det skulle visst vaere en ...
