Hasta Leugo Bolivia

I arrived back into La Paz airport to find the rioting and blockades had turned uglier. La Paz is now officially too dangerous for tourists. Those trying to cross blockades in private taxis get stoned, dragged out of taxis and beaten! La Paz city has now closed down and every tourist is advised to stay in the airport and fly out. So I have no other option than to go to Lima in Peru, not really where I want to go but it´s my only option. The cause of the upset is to do with the government selling hydro carbons cheaper to overseas folk than at home in Bolivia. That has angered many of the unions which are very strong.
So its off to Peru.
