The final leg

Posted by AartiHemal | 27th April 2008

So after La Paz, the plan was to make it to the Amazon - however that turned out harder than it initially looked.We booked flight tickets to Rurrenabaque - but the landing strip there is grass and so we could not take off on Wednesday as it was raining there and the ground was not suitable to land. And so we were told to come back the following day and after waiting around for 5 hours we were told that the ground was still wet and there were no guarantees of a flight the next day either. So we tried to get a refund - which we did minus a whopping 20% admin fee and after 4 hours of arguing (a very shitty day) and with another Dutch couple we booked a jeep to take us there the next day. We eventually got to Rurrenabaque after a tiring 12 hour journey on roads as bad as the ones in Kenya and after chilling out for a day there, we started off on a 3 day Pampas trip.

The Pampas trip was great for seeing animals - in particular monkeys, river dolphins (we even swam amongst them on day 2)
