La Paz

Highlights:
- Taking the cable cars for views all around the city - really cool and really cheap!
- We had drinks and played pool with our friend who we first met in Belize and continued to bump into all the way to Nicaragua - he had some tales to tell including being bitten by a dog in Bolivia and searching for a day to find rabies treatment!
- We ate at a great restaurant called Popular Bolivian Food, which was fancy food at a low cost and delicious
- We bought some warm clothes and sunglasses for the upcoming salt flats trip

Lowlights:
- Josh felt unwell for about half a day, maybe due to altitude but not 100% sure
- We went shopping around witches market which we had heard was amazing but we were slightly disappointed with - Josh still got a funky jacket and Serena a cute headband, but it took a lot of searching!
- We ran out of time to do the walking tour which was a shame

Food and drinks:
- We tried cinnamon ice cream, which is a local delicacy and for some reason pink coloured! Actually quite nice
- A meat pasty with api (a hot purple corn and fruit drink, quite nice but very sweet!)
- Serena had sticky toffee pudding from an Irish pub (not anywhere near as good as yours mum but it was still nice!)
- Salteños (basically empanadas, but a sort of sweet dough with meat filling)
- We stumbled upon the papa rellenas (mashed potato balls stuffed with meat) stall from the Netflix street food show - delicious
- At Popular Bolivian Food we had passionfruit juice and a local lemon type juice, a starter of a soup and a cheesy salad, main of beef tongue and main of trout, and dessert of cheese pastry and api sauce and sorbet, and chocolate and banana dessertRead more
