The bus trip to Rurrenabaque, the extension of the most dangerous road in the world, was heart killing, especially the moments of reversing towards the cliff to let oncoming traffic pass. An old woman with her alive chicken next to us praying constantly wasn't very reassuring either. We made the trip in a good 20 hours as it can take up to 3 days or of course it can take much shorter if you are unlucky.
We went on a jungle tour which was a bit disappointing but it included the highlight of holding a baby ocelot kept by one of the indigenous communities. One of the girls on our tour got bitten by a giant ant crawling up her trousers. It was the amusement of the day unfortunately not for her.
We were unlucky with the weather on our pampas tour. It was raining constantly and the mosquitoes were all over us. Phil's bed was visited by a poisonous spider but he saw it before he got in there. There were a few alligators hanging around our hut and you could see there orange eyes during the night. We were looking forward to swim with the pink dolphins but instead of seeing them you got freaked out by them trying to bite your toes.
The journey back to La Paz wasn't as dramatic as it all happened over night and Phil got himself dosed up on Diazepam.
