It's better to travel at night

If it is not the road blockades due to some protest, then you get held up because of road accidents which sadly given the way most Bolivians drive, is a relatively frequent occurance, hence my view that it is better to travel by bus at night, when at least you cannot see what is happening!


This particular road may look like some country lane but it is actually the new main road linking Bolivia's second and third largest cities, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba (approximately 10 hours by bus).

In this particular case, it seems that a lorry went over the side and they were hauling it back up. I am pleased to report that in this instance the driver did not seem to be seriously hurt.

I also spotted a novel way to transport your sheep by taxi, on the roof rack.
