We got up at 4:45 am, cold and tired, hav­ing slept barely a few hours. We packed in the dark. I brushed my teeth quickly and decided to skip wash­ing my face with some expen­sive French prod­uct, for once. The water was freez­ing and of course, no hot water.

We got to the bus sta­tion sleepy and cranky. Once the “use of bus ter­mi­nal” fee paid, we had just enough boli­vianos for a bot­tle of water. We boarded the bus, still dark out­side, leav­ing La Paz behind us. Cross­ing the Andes, again, to Chile.
