Back in Bolivia

19 May – 20 May, 2005

13th to 19th saw us recouperating in Santiago, Chile.

We then flew from Santiago to La Paz, Bolivia. One of the most amazing flights we have ever done. In the morning, took off in heavy fog. No camera, due to the fog, and that is a decision we regret. Within a minute we had broken through. A sea of cloud with the Andes shooting out, and mountains in all directions, including the peak with the virgin atop in Santiago. Early morning sun lighting it up beautifully. It will have to live in our memories.

The leg from Arica to La Paz was spectacular, over the Andes. Photos to come! (We were prepared, this time.)

Finally, arrived in La Paz. Due to altitude aclimatisation problems, and the fact that it actually suited our plans better any way, flew straight on to Santa Cruz in the east.

Soggy Sloth!
Soggy Sloth! Vet at Santa Cruz Zoo tends to a patient a little worse for wear after a night of rain.
