The journey was broken up at one point though by the need to cross a couple of hundred metres of open lake. All the passengers had to disembark and pay the 20p to get taken across in a small speedboat as we watched the bus get floated across on what is basically a giant raft before getting back on board. Rachel and Liam had booked an apartment for the night which was amazing - with fantastic views, circular beds and a jacuzzi. I was booked into the hostel next ...

The last evening in Rurrenabaque was a quiet one. Next morning i found an internet cafe in town and changed my flight back to La Paz to lunchtime. Once at the airport i was met by a twin propellor 20 seater plane. With no need for a safety demonstration as we would clearly all die if we crashed we took to the skies. It was a rather turbulent flight over the Amazon and ab ove the Andes but quite exciting at least. Once in La Paz i checked into Loki hostel where i...

After the swimming pool i went to the mosquito bar in town for a couple of drinks with an Austalian and 2 locals, but when they decided to head on to a club at 2am i thought it was best to get at least a little sleep before the 8.30am start. The pampa tour started with a 3 hour journey in a 7 seater over what is at best a dirt road. However, on the way we did see a 3 toed sloth slowly making its way across the road, and with that the wildlife tour started. Soon ...

Having flown into Rurrenabaque we were instantly hit by the heat and humidity of the jungle, which was a marked contrast from La Paz when we were 3500m higher up! After checking in i walked into town to organise an Amazon tour and booked a 5 day trip with Berraca del Medidi. After i had a traditional Bolivian fish dish with mel and Gosta before drinks at the Mosquito bar in town. In the morning we were to go on sepèrate tours so we said our goodbyes again. Ne...

I arrived at La Paz bus station around 8.30am and having heard a few dodgy stories about taxi drivers i cautiously approached one that seemed legit. I got a lift to olivers English pub and after requesting the correct amount of change 3 times i entered the pub. Unfortunately, a few minutes before a French girl had been mugged at knife point for her handbag with all her cards and her passport in. She was visibly shaken and was assured she was safe now by the staff...
