Arrive in Bolivia (22/2/2007)


We arrived in Bolivia at midnight, into La Paz airport. We had to wait around 6 hours for our flight to Cochabamba and so tried to sleep in the airport. Didn´t quite happen as the seats were really uncomfortable and it was freezing cold. La Paz is around 13,000ft up, it´s the highest capital and airport in the world.
After some interesting Spanish we brought our tickets to Cochabamba around 5 in the morning. The flight was only 30 minutes and we were picked up by Mike Timmer and his adopted daughter called Gracie. He has a great family with 6 daughters and his wife Bonnie. We´ll be working with them while we´re here.
Mike was unable to arrange for us to stay with a Bolivian family so we are at a guesthouse with two other girls, Julie (New Zealand) and Ayla (America).
