Day 140, Nov 19, 2013, 294km
Made La Paz, Bolivia today, and staying at Hostel Maja for $15 with secure parking and breakfast included.
Went around the biggest part of Lake Titicaca and then over Copacabana. As for the last part you will need to take one of the wooden ferries to cross back to the mainland. Most ferries as we know them are rigid but these flex as they move through the water and is really cool, the ramps and deck are also wooden planks, so you really need to watch where you go.
The border crossing is super easy and only takes 45 min. In Peru both Migracion and Aduana are across from each other and you will first need to get a stamp on your migracion paper from the police station that is right beside it, then get the Migracion salida stamp in passport, and head over to Aduana, they will stamp your import paper. Cross the border and on your left are both offices, fill in migration paper and hand it in, guy will stamp passport and hand back the bottom part of that paper, have a copy of your passport and bike registration for Aduana, he will fill it in and hand you a new temp import permit: done.
The bike just the way it should be after 40,000 km's and never washed except for removing the crud after I did the Dempster.
Tomorrow heading to Coroico via the Death Road so cross your finger for me.
