There were three reasons we came to Bolivia....Road of Death, Salt Lakes and the Potosi mines. So far we haven't looked back. We conquered the Road of Death, the world's most dangerous road. Gravity Bike tours did make us happy. A four hour mountain bike ride down the death road was filled with mixed emotions and amazing moments. Starting at the top was a challenge. Freezing cold, crappy wet weather gear and a wet slippery road. Our bodies froze and our eyelashes barely protected the rain from blocking our views. But we were assured it would heat up. And heat up it did. As soon as we hit the gravel the sun came out and the road just got more and more exciting. We zoomed down the hill, dodging big rocks in our path, weaving through recent landslides and rushing through waterfalls falling in the middle of the road. And the fun didn't end there. We made it to the bottom and prepared ourselves for the worlds steepest zip line. 500m each zip line reaching up to 85k. What an adrenaline rush flying through the mountains and breathtaking views were much appreciated. What a great start to Bolivia. Now let us be bewildered by the famous Amazon. Rurrenabaque here we come.
