after staying up at 12,000 feet in a hostal and outside it dropped to -10 F at night it was time to increase elevation even more http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0454-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...1010320-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...1010323-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2586-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0504-X2.jpg as the altitude got higher the track got worse and worse then all of a sudden blacktop, what a relief after the inconsistent sand/ gravel/ rock mix http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2588-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2589-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0482-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...1010333-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2612-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0506-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0498-X2.jpg then we dropped altitude and small villages started to appear as we headed towards La Paz http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...3stitch-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2618-X2.jpg |
rolled towards La Paz, about 40 miles outside the city limits came across a traffic jam, 20 MILES of stationary vehicles
http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2667-X2.jpg what could possibly be stopping all this traffic...this...and this is boulders for about 5 miles, the smoldering pieces are burning horses heads, think what that smelled like!!!! http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2675-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2676-X2.jpg next was this, riot police, we were told not to take photos as we could be arrested!!! so i took a sneaky one http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0517-X2.jpg a little bit of off road, and then into the worlds highest capital http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2665-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2734-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...IMG2739-X2.jpg somewhere down there is where i'm staying!!! http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0536-X2.jpg http://dmh65.smugmug.com/RidingRTW/b...SAM0537-X2.jpg oh, and the riot it was about money, adjustments to the minimum wage, it had been going on a week and would continue for another week after i left, because of this i didn't get to ride Death Road (Yungas road and south Yungas road) because on that side of La Paz you could get out of the city but not back in!!! |
Absolutely fabulous trip! REALLY jealous right now.... :022:
