Poorest.
My way to Bolivia went throu as you probably know. Lucky me that the border opened so it went smoothly even if took me thirteen hours.
First thing I saw crossing the border in to Bolivia was a big Volvo truck with the text " hurtigrutten and M/S Lofotoen ", Norway is everywhere.. !
Got the late afternoon boat to Isla del sol, the biggest island outside copacabana in lake Titicaca. The worlds highest lake. The two and a half hours boat ride was boring.tired and hungry but worth the trip. The island is beautiful.
Met three guys staying at the same hostel so we all went up to the view point where we met another two. Had a stroll for some hours around the island and shared some pizza and red wine later on. Great night.
Very quiet at the island, nothing to do.
Next they I had a big walk to the north side of the island. Amazing, really liked it ! Met Mirco from the they before and we went to Copacabana for one night.
Took a local bus to La Paz, not the best we done. Me and Mirco and ALL locals. Roads in Bolivia is just the worth.. Fuck ! Had to make a stop when. Small mini bus crashed so we all had to go out and flip it back. Hilarious.
Lucky Mirco is fluent Spanish speaking so it went easier then it would have been.
Anyway, got in to La Paz hanging out. Strolling. Bolivia is the poorest country in south America for sure, really dodgy but I feel safe which is a good sign. ( not every day over here... ) Saw the main things in the center, markets, churchs and so on.. Saw the world photo exhibition 2011. Amazing, it made me realize how amazing I actually have it. I'm living the dream, good health, seeing the world. My family and friends are all good. Couldn't have it better.
The exhibition is showing pictures from last year, tragedies in the world. Depressing but very very interesting. ( check the website www.worldpressphoto.org )
Went to the cinema seeing hangover two. Sometimes you just miss the normal things you're up to back home.. And I did like it.
Today we went mountain biking on THE WORLS MOST DANGEROUS ROAD. It was wicked. Thought it was gonna be harder. Wasn't that bad, really rocky and STEEP on the side. The road itself is on the side of a mountain without any barriers .. Cool !
Went with B-Side, good company with small groups. Only four of us. I keep up with our guide so he ask if I wanted to do some more downhill but don't have time for it. The day was great and I loved it ! I'm still alive ! Wooooop.
Probably going for a few drinks tonight, checking out the nightlife of La Paz. It's supposted to be one of the top tens in the world.
- Blessing.
