This morning we got to taste my lastnights efforts at the Bolivian drink - Mocochichi; it turned out really well but did have to add a few more tablespoons of sugar. I decided to head back to the city centre and ask about a few more tours and see if I could buy a camera. As it is Saturday the city was chaotic with traffic jams and people running left and right. First stop was the tour company where I priced up the 3 Day 6000m climb, the girl running the desk was...

Back on track now with my energy levels slowly coming back, the sun is out and La Paz is beckoning me. I had breakfast with Nyrzah before making my way to downtown La Paz - the traffic was mental and the journey took ages but on a positive note the driver was very friendly and chatted the whole way. The first thing I needed to do was go to the famous tourist street and get some information and prices on tours. There were literally hundreds of agencies offering al...

The sun is out here so I went for a walk around the area (San Miguel) - it is incredibly scenic here being...

I wasn't overly hungry but after my food poisoning episode in Thail...

Waking up in a nice warm bed with the sun slowly piercing through - arghh this is luxury. My host had stayed up late working and so she was late to get up so I spent most of the morning catching up on emails, doing some washing and trying to get over my bout of Bolivian Belly. Mid morning we made our way into the city, first stop was the migration office to extend my 30 day visa out to 90 days - the place was packed with lines out to the street but luckily there ...
