La Paz

Got here at 530, felt dodgy walking through the streets at this hour, made it to the hostel though and they allowed me to check in early at half rate for the night which saved me as I could nap. Woke up had breakfast and met Kelsey and Jonathan from Aus, said I’d join them for cholitas wrestling later, then I went to Entel shop to get a local sim, and took the most scenic rides on the cable cars through the city. I even stopped at this random fried chicken place to eat because the views were so insane, wasn’t hungry at all though. Met up with some people to go see the cholitas which was a super weird experience, came back had a few drinks and played pool.
Jem, Emma, Jonny, Brennan, kelsie for pool.

Feeling rested for first time in a while - went and got a haircut, wandered around the witches market, bumped into the walking tour and had the basilica explained, sent a postcard, got a couple of seltanas as I needed to try the local food. Basically just juicy empanadas. Booked my Huyana Potosi tour with Jiwaki, watched some of the rugby with Jem, got an Uber to gustu for one of the most boujee meals of my life but was incredible.

Death road day - my group was me and 4 Russians and our Bolivian guide Nelson. Russians were so much fun. They were nuclear engineers making the new power plant in Bolivia. Brought beers for the ride. Was seriously dodgy at times but unbelievably fun. Alexander, Yuri, Dennis and AndrewLeggi altro
