And it´s getting hotter, growing wilder!
Wed. Feb. 8th (I think!)
Got here (Santa Cruz) last night after a 10 hour journey on a hot bus. We left at 6.50 and by 8am were watching Freddy v Johnny (from Nightmare on Elm St) gruesome for family entertainment but the children seemed unperturbed! The landscape has changed from rocky hills to lush green rolling hills and plains. some of the houses are built on stilts so I presume it does rain here at this time of year – I have to say I have experienced little rain and indeed would welcome some for relief. I am constantly wet through. I took the bus to Cochabamba on Monday morning at 6am (not me I tell you!) and it took 7 hours. The plants are very tropical with huge palms, banana plants and flowers as well as pink pampas grass. Not much to see here so moving to Vallegrande in morning to see where Che was buried and then to La Hiegura (think I´ve spelt that right) where he was shot. I will be out of touch for a few days as it is a bit remote but will be in Sucre after that and will log in again with lead for camera that I have forgotten to bring out with me today. If I get organised later I will come back and try to download some. You can ask me questions by putting in a comment and I will try to answer if in my capability – brain not at it´s best at the moment!
