La Paz

Where is our hostel again? Taxi drivers who actually refuse fares...we are used to taking double the time and asking everyone. Cool hostel called the green house...hilarious owner Sergio 'hey man!'. Walking round the fancy neighbourhood...lots of dressed up dogs and a shockingly terrible band. Some ropey Italian food. Finally finding the oasis that is cafe del mundo...I'll admit i spent a lot of time there. Ash convincing me death road would be fun... Cooking for the 2nd time. Quinoa.....how in earth do you make this edible. Weird concoction produced. Surprisingly good! Death road. Can't see uh oh. Ash bails. Ailsa bails. Awesome fun though. All smiles at the bottom. German au pair....nice girl. Cigarettes. Frowns from Ailsa. Tour guide declares his love for her. "I'm a lesbian". What an excuse. Awkward ride home. Driver falling asleep. Several close encounters. Next day back to cafe del mundo. Summit prep.
First 3 days apart for 3 months. Yaaay. Not really.
Ash. Ice climbing. Thunderstorms. Cups of tea. Andreas is a legend. High camp. Chill. Sleep at 6. Awake at 1. Begin summit attempt. Awesome. Cold, tired, scared. Sun rise on summit. Worth every penny! Back down, and back for some snugs by 2. Ailsa obvs missed me loads!!
Ailsa. Coffee, cake, coffee, and you get the picture. Walking tour. Missing ash.
Reunited. Cable car to airport. Uyuni here we come!!Weiterlesen
