Up at 6am. We went to Madness cycling and got our bikes, helmets, wet weather gear, vests. Headed to Coroico, the Death Road. The first 25kms of the road was bitumen with lots of traffic. Then we turned off onto the gravel road. The road was windy and bumpy. There were steep descents and sharp corners. We went through waterfalls and over little rivers. There were a lot of crosses on the side of the cliff faces which constantly reminded me of the dangers on this ...

16th March La Paz to Rurrenabaque Left La Paz airport in a 19 seater propeller plane - bit of a bumpy ride. Landed on a grass airstrip then jumped on a 4WD for a 3 hour ride to the Yacuma River. An hour into the ride we came across our first Anaconda about 5 ft long- slithered across the road. Everyone else was excited, I was petrified. We then saw a capyburra which is like an overgrown guinea pig. Lots of cows, horses and birds. Driving on these roads is an...

14th March Left Potosi at 6am heading for La Paz. La Paz is 3650 metres above sea level and is the highest capital city in the world. Was founded in 1548.

W...

Sucre founded in 1538 is three hours from Potosi. We went to see the Cal Orck'o dinosaur tracks which date back 68 million years. Whilst the footprints were fascinating I was a little disappointed that we could only view them from 300 metres away. We walked around Sucres main Plaza de Mayo but as it was siesta time all museums and shops were closed. This square is the largest in Bolivia ringed with Palm and Jacaranda trees. Arrived back at Potosi at 7pm then ba...
