Sucre to La Paz

I bought an "expensive" ticket (150Bs.) with El Dorado bus company. After much rumors that there aren't any buses with beds, I can confirm that I had a 179degree incline!

From my sexy pose, you can see how comfortable it was...

Now the bathroom, lol... Yeah, there was one... But it was locked! (Yeh, I also wonder...) a classic Bolivian moment.

2 hours into the ride, the bus pulls over. 

I go outside to pee, without knowing what's going on... Then I realize that there was a car crash with the car infront of us. They were drunk and lost control and drove into the mountain and the car flipped! Holy shit! It's 11pm, pitch black, closer to the middle of nowhere than to any town... 

So people from the bus carry 3 people from the crash who are all insanely bloody and in serious condition into the bus floor... And had to leave the 2 others which were dead on the side of the road. 

Yup. Wtf!

Then we drive to the nearest hospital at perhaps half an hour away, which was closed. Cops and people from the bus were banging on all the windows of the hospital. 15 minutes later, they open and take in the crash victims and we carry on our trip.

There I layed, thinking about everyone I loved... Realizing how precious life is... And completely aware that once I enter a bus, I have no control of the outcome... Yet I still do, for the sake of seeing new places and meeting new people. 

I calm myself by thinking that "Hey, two consecutive crashes... Would be too much"... 

Eventually I fall asleep and wake up to a baby crying/screaming and the sun blinding me... And at city built on a hill, with views of snow-capped mountains!

This is La Paz. The capital of Bolivia.

I have altitude sickness again... Today, I will be sitting. Ugh. I have to re-adapt... Atleast I know I can.

I'm a 300m lower than Potosi, and only 800m higher than Sucre!
