The three of us were thick as thieves during these amazing 12 days! What a great trip :) We covered quite a bit of ground in such a short time. Here's the map, thanks to the GPS tracker lent by our tech sponsor Stephan! Thanks Stephan :) Full map here: https://share.garmin.com/SimonDeconde Here's what we loved: the country-side: amazing landscape, great for hiking... We wished we could have hiked more! being immersed in another culture without hundreds of tourists around: the low season helped, but even in high season, we wouldn't expect Bolivia to be too touristy, especially more remote parts like Sajama the fact that even at 4000m+, there are still huge mountains around you the alpacas! :) Here's what we didn't like so much: the approximate concept of time (see our posts)... The bus rides always take more time than announced, so you need to plan accordingly. If you have time, you can relax and probably even enjoy this difference in culture, ...
4am: This is it... Gotta wake up, take a quick shower and hop in a taxi. My flight takes off at 6:54am from La Paz International Airport and I don't want to be late. It's raining outside, I really hope the taxi driver will be there waiting for me at 4:30am as planned. After the shower, I wake up Max and Camille for a last good bye, and I take off! The hotel is quiet at this hour! 4:30am: I can only hear the rain thumping on the roof. I exit the hotel, open the gate, peek outside... and the taxi driver is here waiting for me! What a relief. I get in the car and we are off to the airport. This time, the taxi driver took the backroads to get to the airport. The ascent is steep, and the road is occasionally cut off by a small torrent of rain water which doesn't phase the driver. He barely slows down and drive straight through the gushing water. 5:10am: I'm at the airport on time, I pay the driver the agreed 60 bolivianos + 10 bolivianos tip for picking me up so early!...
