By chance i caught the sunrise. On my way back I bought some bread for breakfast. And with renewed energy we packed our bikes and set off onwards towards Oruro. Much to our surprise the the whole stage was paved. Which made this one of the easier stages of the past days. My body also played along and we reached Oruro somewhen in the early afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Salina de Garcia Mendoza - Oruro\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9AHjAb7GtS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Oruro is a proper city with around 200\u00b4000 citizens, and with that there is traffic, which then slowed our arrival at the hotel down, in addition, twice a week there is a huge market in the city which happens on Wednesday and Saturday, and Wednesday our arrival was. And on top of all that the whole city was in preparation for this years carnival season. The carnival in Oruro is even part of the UNESCO cultural heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oruro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two nights in Oruro. The first evening we enjoyed the lively market atmosphere, which occupies the whole of the inner city. And it seems like the whole city is particpating. Oruro was the first larger city, since Puerto Montt, which was like two weeks ago or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day we did the usual blogging work, and walked around the city, which at an elevation of &gt;4000m is quite exhausting. One thing that is bit strange to us, is the fact there are a lot of buildings that seem to be still in the process of being built, but are already inhabited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we were in Oruro, we were thinking about staying over the weekend to experience the start of the carnival season but finally decided against, it, as neither Stefan nor I are real fans. Cultural idiots you might say. Anyway we had to alternatives, either go towards the Alto Plano, or turn directly to La Paz. Later on Stefan brought Quime into play. Not reading up on it, i had a look at the map and rather quickly agreed to take that route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1928\" data-id=\"893\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210104719-359x270.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oruro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1928\" data-id=\"894\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_210532741-359x270.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">graffiti in Oruro, for women\u00b4s rights<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1928\" data-id=\"892\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240201_204350901-359x270.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oruro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oruro &#8211;

This sounds much more dangerous then it was, as there was an already established bypass. The landowners through which the bypass led, wanted to have some money, from everyone, except the two guys on the motos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strange thing in general, as Bolivia does have a toll system in place, but at each toll booth we have come accross yet, they just waved us through. Not clear if that is, due to the motorcycles or due to us being foreigners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we veered of the RN 1 towards Quime we steadily climbed higher and eventually saw the first snowy mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"380\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-1024x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-1024x380.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-150x56.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-768x285.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-1536x570.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-2048x759.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSCF8928-604x224.jpg 604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">on our way to Quime, the first snowy mountains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So starting at an elevation of &gt; 4000m climbing up to &gt;4800m and then down into Quime at 2965m.

Lush green, and proper trees growing without somebody caring for them. Water everywhere and waterfalls. Quite the different landscape since we crossed the Abra el Acay into the Atacama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hotel Melody gave us proper accomodation in Quime, with a terrace overlooking the valley. Another two day stay. (as i wrote last week, this is our first time in Bolivia, and we cannot only spent it riding and blogging, what would we be blogging about anyway)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During breakfast we decided to run a timelapse of the day overlooking the valley, and her you can watch the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quime day timelaps\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PhAjkx8MDgs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After having set up this, we went for a walk. Somehow the past two months on the bike i seem to have forgotten what it meant when Stefan and I go for a walk. So this time the walk was about 12km and 700m  elevation gain\/loss. Oh yeah and the 12km only because we took a shortcut. \ud83d\ude42 Here some impressions of our walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

At least it was not raining. However it was an extremely dusty part of the road. The steps for the back tire:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>remove ABS sensor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>remove axle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>remove chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>remove tire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>loosen mantle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>get the tube out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fix the tube<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>put the tube back in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>put the mantle back on the rim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>make the mantle slippery &#8211; e.g. using soap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>fill with air till the mantle pops properly on the rim again<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>put the tire back into the swing (not sure if that is the proper english word)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>align everything<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>put axle back<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>look for chain tension<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tighten all screws<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reattach ABS sensor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pump the rear break several times &#8211; which we forgot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be done and enjoy the rest of the ride<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all this process took us about 2 hrs. Not that bad, but the next time we will be faster. We commenced riding at 16:00  with about 3 hrs of daylight left, and according to Openstreet Map the next accomodation was a stretch away. We had a nice sunset though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-2048x1542.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.leifericcson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PXL_20240204_231902674-359x270.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">sunset on RN25<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That was about 30km away from the hopefully next accomodation.

Alright 30km to go, at the speed on those roads, about an hour. It got dark, was a very interesting ride, but we made it unscathed. Accomodation was not a problem, dinner not as well. And the shower was just marvellous. Honestly though, i would very much like to keep those darkness rides to a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Quime - Irupana\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y2Ub5dpeCIY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RN25: valleys and mountains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irupana &#8211; La Paz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quick breakfast we set out to finish the stage to La Paz. But first gas. Well there was none to be had so we had to put the gas we brought over from San Pedro into our tanks and had to hope that one of the filling stations short before La Paz was selling some gasoline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day was as great as the day before &#8211; without a flat tire this time. The scenery, waterfalls like where ever you looked. Really great lunch midday. So basically you have some restaurants, which server exactly one dish and soup as precursor. It is homecooked food &#8211; hausmannskost, as the Germans say &#8211; and well it is good food, both of us like it, even though it seems our intestines still need some getting used to it. Get used to it quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Irupana - La Paz\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VuNvovVxKe0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the last stretch of RN25 to La Paz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the last two days we spent well below 3000m almost scratching the 1000m the way to La Paz led us back to 4800m and then down into La Paz at 3600m. And you can guess, we are running of fumes, no filling station with gas, and the one that had it, did not sell to foreigners. Well let\u00b4s see how that is going to play out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traffic in La Paz was thicker then in Oruro, but we managed to get to the hotel, park our bikes and conclude the day without any scratches. Good vegetarian dinner, and a proper drink in a proper bar later and we were ready for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La Paz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will stay in La Paz for three nights. Today i wanted to go and get our canister filled with gas, but they turned me away and told me i should return with the bike to get it filled, which we will do tomorrow morning (hoping that the traffic will be a little lighter).  The rest of today was spent writing this entry. After successfully filling the bikes tomorrow there will be sightseeing and on Thursday we will be of towards Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This concludes week #10<br>Till next time,<br>Happy Hacking everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
