So here we are, with two days to go. Our bags are packed, travel vaccination records found (after Nick briefly misplaced his) and Gameboy brought back to life for the three (yes, three) flights that will transport us across the skies from Birmingham to Bolivia. We will be arriving in La Paz, which is the highest capital in the world, at an eye watering local time of 1.30am. Rather than dreading this discommodious hour, Matt from Chimu Travel has organised a transfer from the airport to the hotel, and so we will be swept straight there. I am inordinately excited about this (going so far as to call Dad to tell him about this height of luxury - isn't it the best thing ever?) before he informed me that this was pretty standard. Ah.

| Our first stop is La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. |
Once we arrive, our first day will involve a trip to Moon Valley, before we head east out of La Paz for a few days in an Ecolodge. This involves driving down Death Road (of Top Gear fame. Jezzer is petrified as the road disintegrates under his tyres. Check it out after we have safely navigated the pass. They have now built another road, and traffic is now only allowed one way on Death Road, significantly improving the safety record. Phew.)
