And just in from Frank in Bolivia"

"Hi Grant,

situation in LaPaz is getting worse, now we have more than 80 dead and the city and the government are in chaos.
The Vicepresident said "I have nothing more to do with the govenment", one minister said "See you!" and the President seems as if he has no clue about what is really going on.

Sure is that nobody can leave or enter the city, we have no more petrol here and bread since yesterday.

I have received unfortunatly first "Sorry we will not come" -mails. And I cannot say anything against such a decision. Those who still like to come are warned by me to ask the current condition before entering this "lovely" country. I really do not want somebody stuck between the crazy drunken Indians.

I thought it would be over quicker, but now we are close to another rebellion.

I still think everything will be fine in November, but for certain reasons I am not sure - "it smells different" this time...

The safest place in LP is the part where all the militaries live - we are in their middle!

Greetings
Frank

bloody thirsty work , being under seige you know. got to get your priorities right.
looks and sounds like the majority of the population are heading to la paz, including the coca farmers.have been advised by the embassy not to leave the hotel and to gather food and rations. airport completely un servicable and evacuation unlikely.
anyone want to buy a ktm( in bolivia)? fully set up for overland travel.will accept credit card
