I'M AT: The front of an overnight bus from La Paz to Sucre, glugging back Bocks and eating Pringles.
National Express should make a point of saying that, no, they won't ask their passengers to get off their buses at 2AM to push, should their coaches get stuck on a muddy road.
I stopped short of helping dig up the nearby bushes to act as traction under the sodden wheels, but froze my arse off, and got a mouthful of dirty exhaust as we scrabbled and argued for over an hour in the dark cold countryside between La Paz and Sucre. We'd taken a short cut to avoid the roadblocks on the motorway. But sadly our driver hadn't taken off-road tuition.
It was touch and go but we made it in only 16 hours.
