Bus From Hell


For every most dangerous road deserves the most dangerous bus. We left Uyuni at 7 pm and took our seat in a Bolivian semi carma. This would be equivalent to a South African Golden Arrow bus. Even though there were say 40 seats, there were 60 people. The bus had no suspension and lacked any 4 x 4 tyres for the ruggud terrrain we were travelling. People who did not have seats stood or fell a sleep in the isle. Mike had an old lady rest her head on his knee for most of the trip. A toilet stop seemed out of the question and when we finally made the stop, Bolivian woman squatted next to the bus. At 4 am we had to take change bus and drive another 3 hours to La Paz. Wish I had taken more photos but felt it was not adequate.
