Finally managed to escape from La Paz and after a ridiculous flight i arrived in BA. Had to fly LAB which is SA's most dogeramma ariline. Flight consisted of La Paz to Cochabamba, plane breakjs down and will take 60mins to get fixed but then the pilot changes his mind and its everyone back on board, Cochabamba to Santa Cruz and 11 mins to get out and back in through security. Met a welsh girl who was in the same predicament so we did a LOT of pushing Bolivians oput of the way, shouting and blatant queue jumping. Managed to get the plane on time and don't u know the fucker was an hour late!! Finally arriuved in BA about 7 last night and checked into the Clan Hostel which seems to be very cool. Therre was free BBQ and beer last night as yesterday morning there was an attempted armed robbery at reception. 2 guys with guns, one girl got hit on the head and some boy got chot but with a ricochet!! Bonkers eh!! ashing with rain today so going to havew a wander and see whats BA all about!
