To the Amazon
We took an overnight bus from Coroico to Rurrenabaque, the gateway to the Bolivian Amazon. This bus ride was probably the worst of my life. We left at 3pm and arrived at 7am. But what makes this ride worse was that it was a continuation of the "death road". Sheer cliffs drop into oblivion. Our bus driver is crazy and drives as fast as he can in the dust behind another bus.
We had to stop once while a bulldozer cleared a landslide from the road (by just pushing the debris into the river way below us). At another time we had to stop (for an hour) where a sign said "Beware! Excavation with explosives" We had to wait while the road was cleared again. Many people were standing in the isles throughout the night. It was a very long night...
