Had a great run north to Cochabamba on this white road. Only got busy
when we were in the city, no big trucks and polite drivers. A very
different city than our last entry from the SW 4 months ago. Arrived at the Brazil
consulate to find out our time was wrong (again). It was just before nine when
we arrived. Take clocks back another hour…….
Looks like getting a
Brazilian visa is easy but they want a detailed itinerary of our
remaining time in Bolivia??? The cost is about AU$35 but has just gone
a up a little but they were unsure of cost. We decided to get the
visa in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Half way between here and the
border.
Dropped into a supermarket and had a big shop. The parking attendant was very good to us and parked us across the end close to the store as we wouldn’t fit into the covered parking area.

Drove out of town in
the rain and trucks. A very slow trip as the trucks were slow uphill
and no passing lane. I passed the same truck 3 times. When we were
behind a slower truck he would overtake where I was not comfortable
doing so. Again we observed very poor overtaking abilities.
We noticed a wind farm then a sign to it. We turned of and paid our S/10 (A$2) and drove down to them. Were uncertain whether we could drive in but a guy said yes. We camped for the night at the highest wind turbine, A great view.
