The train station is incredibly calm this Easter Friday. The train that goes all the way to the Brazilian border from the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra will depart at noon today. It is a 12 hour ride to the town of Roboré. I don't have a lot of information about this town. Hopefully, there will be an internet point, but you never know.
This is the third time I take this train. And well, the last time, in 1992, it was an adventure. The Brazilians have been calling this railway the 'Tren da Morte' or Death Train. That time it was incredibly slow, and completely full. Overloaded.
It has been only 15 years since then. But that can be a lot too. For example, in 1992 the internet as we know it didn't exist at all.
