Isla Del Sol We got up at 7 today so we could catch the boat to Isla del Sol. Walking up to the tourist office at 8 as we had been told we found it was closed!! Slightly annoyed by this we walked down toward the shore anyway and were lucky enough to find another office open selling the same tours although the guy behind the desk attempted to charge us more at first! We also picked up a couple of sandwiches and pastries from a little stand on the street and pro...

To Copacabana. After breakfast we went out to get some money and for a last look round La Paz before heading off to Copacabana that afternoon. Whilst wandering around we found a stall where Andy managed to buy himself a new hoody at a reasonable price and we also got some empanadas for the journey later on. Back at the hostel we paid up and packed our bags​ which Andy found particularly diffcult with all his new things (hoody, 2 tops, shoes and ipod) compare...

The sun was shining and it was a lovely clear day which meant that we could see the mountains in the distance which up unti...

Exploring La Paz It was about 11 when we left the hostel to do some exploring of the town, we walked into the centre for a look round the witches market, this is a couple of streets in town where you can buy lots of strange herbs, voodoo dolls, talismans and even a dried llama foetus! (which apparently brings good luck if buried under your porch) After this we looked around a few clothes shops for a hoody for myself and a skirt/dress for Mae but unfortunately ...
