J and myself have seen Bolivia once before, from the shores of Isla Amantani on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca. The bedroom of the local home we stayed at that night had a window framed on a view of the Andes towering across the worlds highest navigable lake. Since then, I think its safe to say, we have had an itch to return.
So we will return this way via Peru and this time stay on the Bolivian side of the lake at Isla del Sol. It will hopefully be to our advantage this time that we have acclimate to the elevation. I look forward to chewing on some coca leaves to help me alleviate any of my ails.
We should be spending Christmas in La Paz. The Yungas Road will have to be accomplished as soon as we get to that region so we dont miss it before the probable delay around Christmas. After La Paz is Cochabamba, Sucre for New Years, and then the gold mining city of Potosi,. We will take the first trip through Uyuni we can after the New Years. Our goal is to make it into Chile or Argentina by January 5th.
