La Paz-portes es perdido!

From the small town of Sucre we headed for the bright lights of La Paz, Bolivia´s capital city, where the old women all wear huge dresses and bowler hats and they sell llama foetuses in the nearby witches market!

La Paz is the world´s highest capital city and spreads out over the nearby mountain ranges.


We spent our time in La Paz trekking to and from the embassy in a desparate bid to re-unite us with some manner of leaving the country. With not too much hassle we obtained some interesting looking emergency passports and spent the rest of the time eating, sight seeing, drinking and shopping with Vicky, Ben, Annie and Jorge. Yey!

Knowing we were soon to return to La Paz we left the city for the Bolivian Copacabana on Lake Titicaca.
