After a nightmarish 14 hour overnight journey though Bolivia (unsurfaced roads, millions of potholes, dangerous driving, no reclining seats on bus, no toilet, sitting next to large Bolivian woman with 20 blankets & half a dozen babies lying in the isle!) we finally arrived in La Paz a little worse for wear. Altitude sickness kicked in & so we spent a couple of days hanging out in a hotel room feeling nauseous - the dullest part of the trip so far!
We made it out a couple of times, first of all to check out the witches market (herbal cures for just about anything, plus weird dried llama foetuses, skulls etc...), then to the "fake" English pub for a proper cuppa tea & also the coco museum - the coco leaves really help the side affects of altitude, plus giving us enough energy to leave the hotel a few times (even though they taste pretty gross)!
