Followed a blue
truck full of people. The road is quite windy with lots of switch
backs. Caught up to the blue truck at a village where we had to pay 2
Bolivia to have the barrier lifted.
Drove carefully into
Cochabama to visit a supermarket our first in Bolivia. Did a major
shop, buying among other stuff, yogurt cheese and meat.
Went north
from there bought diesel only 20lts as they were charging
international 8.8 Bolivians. About A$1.7 The most we have paid. Will
fill up outside of the cities if possible. Filled with water.
Drove north out of
town on a yellow road. Cobblestones. Drove up and up. Just on dusk
found a campsite beside a river and waterfall. Very noisy night. About 30 trucks and buses passed in the first few hours.
Very warm night so
had a basin shower. Nice to have clean hair again.
