 Bolivian car crash (9) damsmad
(192) | We were on a 4x4 trip through the Altiplano and heading for the Uyuni salar... On a frozen morning, the driver took the wrong path - was he too selfconfident? not enough concentrated? focused on some other problems we had (the car had been already repaired twice)? no clue, yet he took the wrong path. Suddenly there wasn't any ground under the wheels - 90 kms per hour, almost top speed for these kind of cars. We just had time to hang on hard before crashing down at the foot of these little hill on the top of wich the road we were following had just vanished! Fortunately, no harm was to be declared and save the car which had had a hard time, we were safe. One might notice on the foreground the luggage and bags that were on the car's roof - and had been ejected by the shock - and on the hill's side, the deep wheels' mark were we had landed after a brief flight!
In these moments, you DO feel your alive. For the fun let me tell you that the eggs under the passenger seat were perfectly clean... Life's amazing.
