Within 3 minutes we find out three important facts about Bolivia, all the old women eat Coca leaves, the roads are paved by exception and bus travel is not comfortable.
To illustrate the last point the bus driver undertook a suicide overtaking maneuver of a minibus and ended up clipping the other minibus nearly off the road. This resulted in a quite entertaining bus race ending with the minibus overtaking us, blocking the road and discharging all passengers to let our bus driver know how much they didn´t appreciate his driving skills. As our plucky driver had some common sense he staying in the cab with the doors shut, unfortunately this didn´t help him avoid the rocks from the angry mob. Entertaining, especially as he had to drive another 2 hours to get us to our destination!
(Note completely smashed drivers window)
Welcome to Bolivia...
