![]() It took it around 30 minutes to get back on the road, and on the right side so it decided to just wait for the road to be cleared (it looked like it was finishing, so it was fine) when 2 cars crashed into the bus. I loved the landscape – this is from the train, but the bus trip had some awesome views too When I woke up, people were getting off of the bus trying to put rocks to make a path for the bus to go back to the place where it should’ve been – the road. Turns out the bus was way too heavy and it got stuck on the grass area between the lanes. There’d been an accident on the road, blocking all of it so our driver decided to try to go on through the wrong way. ![]() Coral was sitting beside me asleep, so I managed to have 20 minutes of peaceful sleep until I woke up because the bus was stopped. When they stopped screaming ‘Oruro, Oruro’, I finally managed to sleep. And there was our driver honking and all the other cars, buses, and trucks honking too.Īnd it was freezing cold there, I don’t really know why they turn the air conditioning on. Plus, I don’t understand why, but they keep honking ALL the time. The luggage holder above my head was loose and kept making noises (I mean a very fast tac-tac-tac noise), the crew chatted loudly and the freaking bus spent over an hour stopping in every freaking bus stop and corner in La Paz calling out for more passengers.

It was a double deck bus and we were on the upper floor. Then it was time and we headed to the bus. We had to, basically, wrestle our way into one of the cubicles as nobody respects the line there. It was in horrible condition and there was no soap, as usual in Bolivia. It’s all the way at the end of the terminal and the female toilet was packed (as always) and there was a 1BOB charge per person (includes a bit of toilet paper, handed to you at the entrance of the toilet). Luckily, it wasn’t long until departure, so we also went to find a toilet. We didn’t so we put on all of our sweaters (2 each) and started freezing little by little. People take blankets (smart people, not us) and sleep there. We found out that we had to pay to use the terminal (1,5 BOB per person, cheap, but we didn’t know it and would’ve been stopped at the exit of the terminal if Angelo hadn’t gone to ask), paid and waited. We woke up early, caught a taxi to the bus terminal and waited for our bus. We could only understand how immense it is by looking at the tiny cars that sometimes appeared The way to Uyuni
