Santa Cruz was only meant to be a night stop over, from where we would catch our night train into Brazil. However due to the current violent protests in Bolivia there were train blockades meaning we had to stay an extra night and then at our own expense catch a flight to the Bolivia/Brazil border. We didn't really do much in Santa Cruz as there ...

Santa Cruz was a really cool city. I was kinda sick for the first couple days, so I checked into a hotel. After I got better I moved to a hostel called Residencial Bolivar. It was a really nice place. They also had two Tucan Grandes as pets. Thier wings were clipped and they lived free in the center courtyard. The weekend was fun but kinda quite...

Yesterday when I was having a pedicure (and boy did i need it!) I commented to the señorita that Santa cruz was very different to the rest of Bolivia. She looked at me with an incredulous look and said, "oh my god, its another world"! In the other cities, she went on to say, people live like they are in villages. And I gotta say she summed it up...

Today we arrive in Bolivia. Should be quite the culture shock from Brazil.

BAck in Santa Cruz before heading off to Uyuni for the salt flats tomorrow... HOT TIS for travelers (1) Best option is to fly out of Santa Cruz. LAB and Aerosur fly our frequently and are cheap. A flight to Cochabamba is 503BS with 15bs airport tax, approx 65USD. The flight is 40 minutes, the bus is 12-15 hours (if you dont find a roadblock!!!).

I arrived back in Santa Cruz not knowing how tired I was. Roxanna had invited me back to stay with her family so I took a taxi over to their house and was again made to feel most welcome. I'd spent the last three nights on buses and was pretty tired so immediately fell asleep until lunchtime. Later in the day I told the family about my travels i...

Today Bolivia celebrated 179 years as an independent nation. The military were out in force as they had a gathering in the Parque Urbano over the road from the house. It wouldn't have been so bad but we had all been out at a Bolivian nightclub the previous night and the marching bands striking up at 8am was a bit much! I had expected more of a f...

The Palacio Prefectural, where I work, is currently hosting a display of paintings by Armando Jordan. He lived in Santa Cruz in the 1930s and painted many scenes. I was invited to the official opening of the exhibition this evening. Sadly, I wasn't allowed to take any photos, but the pictures really are excellent. Of all the girls, only Rachel, ...
