Isla del Sol to La Paz

Today was a travel day and boy did we travel.

To start the day we had our ferry from Isla del Sol back to Copacabana. They upcharged us (and everyone else), and despite my arguing it was a take it or leave it situation and we had a bus to catch. I was not a happy chappy. The boat then left late making me more annoyed at the whole situation. The good news is, we got back to Copacabana with enough time to rearrange our bags and to order some lunch. We did end up having to take it to go and eat on the bus, but it was better than nothing!

After a short time on the bus, the driver asked everyone to get off. The bus has to get on a ferry to go across a peninsula. All of us passengers had to pay 2bob each to get a ferry to the other side as well. It was a windy, chilly wait for the bus to cross, but once it did we were back on our way.

The bus to La Paz was pretty painless and surprisingly quiet for a day bus. Quieter than a lot of our night buses at times. We hit some traffic coming into La Paz, but it wasn't too bad and we got to the bus station on time. It was a 17 minute walk to our hostel, so we got our backpacks on and made our way there.

The evening in La Paz was spent planning out some things to do over the next few days as well as buying some bus tickets. We also went the 'homesick' route and had a curry for dinner at a nearby Indian restaurant. We had a llama masala which was pretty interesting. I think I prefer alpaca to llama, it's much nicer. I'm looking forward to exploring some of La Paz tomorrow!Read more
