Just a quick update.
Those going to the jungle got away fine on Friday morning for the first day of their bike ride. THe rest of us wentback tobed for another hour or so until the restaurant opened for breakfast. We then had a very relaxed day with a walk up to a village where a dog had a go at me, I was not very impressed. Mario (our Liason person) was of no help at all as he was bitten a few days ago by his mother´s dog and dislikes them even more than I do. However it all ended fine, except that I never got the photo of the church I was after, oh well.
The following day we walked down to the caves and cought a very full taxi back in the heat of the day. It was another relaxed afternoon lying in the hamocks, reading and writing, and we finally ventured into town to try something new for dinner.
Today has been very uneventful, with a long bus tripback top La Paz. It took quite sometime to get out of Sortata as the bus apparently got a puncture on the very rough road from the hotel to town. So they replaced a reasonable looking tyre with an extreemly bald one and we headed back up the road to La Paz. The road works were in full swing and the trip seemed to take forever.
We have since had another shopping trip to the Witches Market (be very worried Bill) and now everyone is looking forward to playing dodgems in the taxi on the way to the restaurant tonight. Although first we get fitted for tomorrow´s ride down The World´s most Dangerous Road. Should be fun!
