从Santa Cruz去Brazil

According to Bolivia's map,they had two different road to reach Santa Cruz. one is small and dirt road and another one is straight and big road,which is follow the train road. we deceided use big road because we got enought of fall down experience and our mind only want to quickly to pass thought Boliva. We were estimated this 647km distance only need to take 3 hours more to complete.
　打开地图从Santa Cruz去Brazil有两条路。看上去第一条路是又小又弯曲的。第二条是直路，沿着火车路一直到关口。我们决定选择看起来比较容易走的第二条。我们估计这647km的路程只需要花三天就能完成。


Early moornig, at the first 20km we felt that everything was undercontrol as like our plan. The road condition is good!
一早，我们走了20km的路，觉得和我们预算的一样，路很好！

The nightmare was happened after 5 km more, the main road was under construction. we had no choice to use side road. Big truck coming again and again.... the sandstorm came blowing towards us and our sight had been blurred and blocked! sometimes we had to stop to wait for the wind to blow away the sandstorm. the sand on the road is equavlent to the sand on the beach. we thought that after traveling for 80km, the road would be better but NO, it was the same for all the major and minor roads (on this expressway/autobann). giving a thought for Hope Too, at this old age, running at the sandy beach, coughing while jogging, really giving him a hard time!
可是当我们吃完早餐走了多5km, 恶梦开始了！大路正在维修，我们只能用旁边的小路。大卡车一辆一辆的超越我们。沙尘不断的向我们吹来，我们的视线全被掩盖！有时必须停下，等风把它吹走。路是凹凸不平的，路上的沙多到跟沙滩一样！好不容易走了80km, 以为大路会好一点；没有！大路和小路是没有分别的！在这里的‘高速’公路就是这样。想到Hope Too这样老了, 还要在沙滩上跑步，一面跑还一面咳嗽，真的是要它的命！

after few hours....one more fall down.

can you see our shoe?

看着对面来的车就让我连想到家里的hamster在洗澡。


　我们总共跌倒两次！第一次是因为沙堆里藏有大石头而绊倒。第二次是Hope Too的脚被卡在沙内，拿不上来！明骏用力转油，Hope Too失去平衡而跌倒。你们可以想像从新加坡去吉隆坡的路途是这样：没有休息站，没有商店，没有餐馆，没有人居住！天呀，为什么不要把公路做好一点？路上的大卡车相似乌龟在地上爬呀，爬呀！几时才能把货送到？我们一直想不通，为什么路要用沙来铺盖？有人告诉我们在Bolivia一定要有耐性，现在我们才了解这句话的意思。
　从天亮走到天暗，我们走了270km, 九个小时。路上没有路灯，只有黑漆漆的树林，肚子又咕噜咕噜的叫。我们不能停下，只能一直往前走。好不容易看到路灯。找人问一下，才知道我们已经到了San Jose de Chiquitos。。幸好我们很快就找到酒店，恶梦才能结束。想回头，我们是幸运的！没有被打抢，没有严重跌伤，Hope Too没有骨折。接下来的377km是不是也一样呢？
