Viru-Viru International Airport, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Thanks to Lloyd Aereo Boliviano, the most annoying company in the world, we got to spend several hours in the transfer area at Viru-Viru. The name may be fun, but the airport is not. After ten hours of watching scenes from the movie "The Terminal" (the script was no doubt inspired by, or even written on a trip with Lloyd) and silly bolivian commercials, people started to lose their minds all around us.

In the cubicle next to the one on the picture, a man (the same man) was making strange moaning noises both times I visited the WC, with a five hours interval. Could he have been sitting there the whole time, or was this a case of parallel bladder-capacity?

Lloyd Aereo Boliviano - Pope poop

It is extremely diffucult to exaggerate when describing the horrors suffered when flying with Lloyd Aereo Boliviano.

A total delay of some 60 hours on the trip Buenos Aires - Panama - Buenos Aires should be enough to drive any person completely mad.

An interesting feature about this plane, which took us from Panama to Bolivia, is that the pope (the previous, shaky one) has taken the same flight, which means that His Holiness has no doubt used the WC depicted here. It could even be his brown on the picture!

Holy shit!

Hotel Arenal, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Travelling from Buenos Aires to Panama with Lloyd Aereo Boliviano gave us the opportunity to stay one night in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, since Lloyd couldn´t find the plane anywhere and had to put us in a hotel for the night.

An interesting fact about Hotel Arenal is that they did not have any beer in the hotel bar.

The next day we arrived in Panama, only 39 hours after schedule. Praise the Lloyd!
