Hello my friends

I am now in my final stop in Bolivia, Santa Cruz. Me and Maya enthustically packed down all our warm clothes when we headed from Sucre to Samaipata (1600m), sure that it would be seriously warm cause Santa Cruz is supposed to be in the trophics. We were very excited about the heat after 3 cold months in the altoplano (high lands) at least 2500 meters above sea levels.

We took the bus to Santa Cruz and jumped off in Samaipata. We arrived at 4.00 in the night and the bus just dropped us off in the middle of the village at the highway. There was absolutly nobody in sight and we had no map. What to do? we waited for a while and then a very drunk local old men showed up and showed us the way to the hotel. It was unbelievably cold, but we thought hey it is just the night. WRONG. Couple of hours later we woke up beause it was so cold, maybe around 5 degrees or less. We were shivering so we took out our sleeping bags and all our well packed warm clothes. We asked around and apparently once a year cold winds from chile arrive and cool everything down, GREAT. It was bloody maximum 5 degrees in the day. Samapatia is a quit beautiful little town to visit, when it is warm. We were just misreable, decided not to go to the Ambora park because it would also be cold there, we also decided not to go to see Che´s last stand and just took the next bus to Santa Cruz, cause there is more cover from the winds and at least you can go out even if it is cold. So here we are. And it is a lot warmer.
Maya has been sick so i have been walking around, it is nice here, the look is trophical but the center is rich Bolivia. I phoned up Cinthia, a woman i met in Rurrenbarque 4 weeks ago, and we will visis her and her family tomorrow in their weekend cabin. Then hopefully me and Maya will go out tonight, i havent done that for a month now.
AND ON MONDAY I AM GOING TO BRAZIL
VERY VERY EXCITED ABOUT BRAZIL.
