What a stupid day of playing the waiting game.
My flight was booked for 12pm Departing from Rummenbarque to La Paz and at first it was only delayed 2 hours, we waited for the airplane to come but another hour, then when it finally arrived there was an issue with the engine and some warning light was showing. Here we were told it was going to take 30 minutes to repair. It took over an hour before we were told it would be another 15 more minutes.
Shortly later we were told the flight won't be going till tomorrow and we would be set up in a hotel back in town.
After collecting our luggage from the airplane we had to hop back on the bus to go into town to check in. As soon as we arrived and after we checked in the woman organizing the whole dilemma told us the plane was repaired and that we had to get back on the bus and go back to the airport.
I'm writing this now after spending the entire day at the airport 6 hours after the original time of departure.
Oh bolivia! What a place.
This morning I did hike up to the viewpoint to see the vista over the town, not so impress but at least I did something other than hang around the airport all day.
Arriving back at wild rover where I had stayed the last 2 times I've been in La Paz I ran into a group of people I had briefly met in Sucre, they were all good banter and so I joined them in the restaurant upstairs. I wanted to hit up the town but I was exhausted with the bullshit of the day.
