Mtn biking, Bolivia styles...

As we settle into life here in La Paz, we have given up our travelling ways, our camera has become burried somewhere in one of our packs, and our days have been filled with job training and food finding. We almost have a room sorted, as we wait for one of the old guides to leave, as we endure the last round of musical beds, we long for desparately to unpack. We have managed to get out and ride and explore, on tracks so much more adventurous than the World´s most dangerous road, which has been amazing. We have almost become quite use to getting shuttled to the top, as you would never consider the enourmous ride uphill here, and KJ is getting quite use to the full suspension bikes we have been using. The scenery around La Paz is incredibly diverse from hot steamy jungle to desert cactus country.

We probably wont be such regular bloggers, as life settles into a working routine, but are quietly planning our next escape out of the city.
