:: Cochabamba

We left La Paz without our Aussie mates who were heading for Sorata. We had an overnight busride. Two of these necesary things to bring while going traveling are earplugs and something to cover your eyes well ... I had a great sleep, unlike my mates. Busrides are always full of surprise, this one was quite noisy. Not only as for our fellow native travellers, but also for the loudy music. Don't get me wrong, I love the music from Peru and Bolivia with its melodies and instruments, but what we heared at busrides sometimes seemed to be from another planet ...

Another memory of this trip are these dogs ... During our trip we met quite a few dogs. Do you like dogs?... Well, I used to, I think I still like them, but they scare me a bit though ... I found them so unpredictable. There seem to be lots of dogs just wandering around and who live like French 'glochards'...

It was like this walk in the Colca Canyon, where one (according to Raaf) already had his teeth around my leg, but forgot to bite or something ... Well, very intersting these dogs over there if you study Psychology ...

I think it must be the biggest Jesus stature in the world. And it was a pain in the arse to take a picture of it. Just not possbible to get it as a whole ...
