Ave San Martin 455, Barrio Equipetrol Santa Cruz, Bolivia, 2966, 3-342-1000
My travel buddy Ben and I have begun our South American adventure. We are taking a 3-week trip to the western side of South America. We will be visiting some very high altitudes, a 4,000sq mile dry lake of salt, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos Islands. OK, now we arrive in La Paz for a one hour layover. La Paz's airport is at 13,000 feet, highest in the world. The missionary lady warned me about the altitude. She wasn't kidding. Once we landed, the airplane doors were opened an...

... varme hele dagen. Kl 18.30 blev aftensmaden sat paa bordet, det var som regel en slags gryderet med pommes fritter og ris. Hver fredag aften tog vi til Santa Maria, som er den taettest lille bitte by der laa paa parken, hvor vi kunne koebt kolde snacks og kolde drikkevarer, hvilket man savnede i parken, der var nemlig ingen stroem. Om loerdag arbejde man kun halvdag, saa vi havde fri efter frokost. Der tomlede folk for det meste ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia natascha... exaggerating a little about the extremeness of the place... Obviously someone had spun a similar yarn for the Israelis who arrived later that week...they`d all turned up with top-of-head to tip-of-toes mosquito net bodysuits. There were practically no mozzies at this time of year. :-)<br><br>Formalities were taken care of the following morning (rules, regs and money). The Sun-Thurs drinking ban kinda made sense, having just seen the messiness of the night out. I was allocated ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia brabzzz... the hemisphere. These guards down here are in danger, in poverty, but are still very helpful and generous to most everybody. I have yet to be searched nor my backpack. But soon as i reach America ill be stripped searched, colon searched and my backpack torn to pieces with the all inclusive attitudes to coincide. Something i have yet to understand, maybe Philip Zimbardo will have the answer soon, or did he already solve the mystery...<br><br ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia davidayotte... see! On our way there everything else was closed and there was hardly anybody around, when we came out at lunchtime the city was back to life again. It revolves pretty much around the central square. Here too you could begin to see the rich/poor divide with the cutting edge malls where many families were having their Sunday lunchs at the numerous takeaway outlets, juxtaposed against the crumbling shops and the families lying on the streets.
Santa Cruz, Bolivia cornflake... me! So basically I eat, shower, pack and repack. However I did squeeze in a pedicure (yes my second in 13 days, I am going to write a thesis on pedicures and how they can affect your state of happiness whilst travelling)!! It cost me 20 Bolivianos, which is the equivalent of about 3 AUD, yes I have died and gone to pedicure heaven! Whilst I had a pedicure Jess braved a Brazilian and I mean the waxing, not a man ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia hezza39... the morning, about 6AM or so, and I awoke with a start. I was very confused at first, but then I noted the Migracion sign, and figured it was finally time to face the Bolivian Migracion officer. The consulate officer had given me a very official-looking document after my 4th visit to him and after I had brought him about 10 documents. So, I thought, "No Sweat!". WRONG. The officer wanted a copy of my visa, which was ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia jathomaz... intended and it was laughed off. I asked how Stuart had ended up in the prison and it was due to carrying a large quantity of cocaine through La Paz airport. He was rumbled by a sniffer dog. So far he has spent 3 years and 10 days behind bars in San Pedro. By the time you read this he may actually be released. He is hoping to get off by insisting he can only speak Afrikaans. So far they have had trouble finding an interpreter so he could be ...
Santa Cruz, Bolivia jamesharrison... French boy knocked a chair down near it). My room was cockroach free and still good value at five pounds a night (breakfast included). It also featured a quite amusing welcome note, entitled "How Not to Get Robbed". Summary as follows: * Don´t, under any circumsatnces, leave this hostel; * If, for some insane reason, you risk leaving this hostel, take absolutely nothing of any value - in fact nothing at all - with you, and trust no one. No one; * If you do take anything and anyone ...
