Sunday 5th Feb.
Got back to La Paz about 2.30pm with 6 insect bites and a sore bottom – bad seat on bus! It had rained overnight and there had been a very loud storm with thunder mega loud and lightening. It stopped before we set off back on the dangerous road than goodness. I got in a taxi on my landing and I was asked to sit in the back. another man got in from Equador he said – we started to try to chat with my poor spanish. another man got in the front and we set off. after a while the man in the front said he was a policeman and showed me a green card. He wanted to see my passport and search my bag. I said no. If you want to search me you will have to taske me to a police station. He went on in spanish to me saying No entiendo and NO. He mentioned maryuarna. I said me no! Guess what he did next? They stopped the taxi and threw me out! Left me on the pavement! He was no policeman was he??? Now one night in La Paz and off to Cochabamba tomorrow at 8am -7 hours ride. One night there and then on to Santa Cruz. I{ll try to upload some pictures there. I loved Coroico very tropical. Wearing my pedometer to try to do 10,000 steps a day – better some days than others!
