Everybody has to fend for himself here and we do see a lot of rifles out here.

We visit some 'Che Guevara" museums and monuments in the neighborhood. When I come acros this photo of 'el Che' being smuggled into Bolivia in a FJ40.

Wise choice from Che to pick a Landcruiser to cross Bolivia.

Spectaculair views.

Camping above the clouds.

Coen,

This brings up an interesting point. As a traveler through South America as well as other countries, have you found that non-citizens can legally carry a gun in their vehicles for their own safety/protection, or is that an automatic ticket to jail?

 

[jtoro]

Speaking of Colombia, no one can legally carry a firearm unless they get a permit. Due to all the problems that we've had, getting a permit is almost impossible. Carrying a firearm without a permit can put you in jail for at least 8 years.

@Bear: I wouldn't have the faintest idea. We have some peper spray somewhere in the car, but to be honest, I doubt it still works after seven years? And I must say, we only meet good people all over the place.

Steep downhills.

And deep rivers.

We meet nobody on the road in these desolate outbacks of Bolivia.

Time for a downside wash.

Looking at the interior shot of the FJ45 fire truck, it is amazing how rudamentary their conversion to LHD is. It must not take them very long to do the conversion.

I am happy for you! Would it be possible to add some images of the stuff, I haven't seen them real time, and you wearing / holding them would be a good alternative. I would love to see how they turned out before I make more designes!

Coen
