Last Sights and Visits in La Paz

The ride back over the hill to La Paz was less mentally challenging since we knew what we were in for and the 20 km descent to La Paz was fast and fun. We made a quick stop at our Warmshowers host Tuly's place, then joined a tour to swim with whale sharks just outside the harbour. It was an amazing experience to see such a gentle giant up close, but it was a little wierd to be one of so many tourists in their space. After our refreshing swim we rode out to Marina Palimar to meet Alan and Lindy on their boat Enchante. Two weeks earlier we had found their camera at Agua Verde and managed to return it to them via the Club Crusaros (the La Paz sailing club). They were thrilled and invited us to meet them on their boat, where we enjoyed getting to know them and comparing travel stories. We topped off our great last day in La Paz with an Italian dinner at Tuly's with two Italian cyclists Davide and Luca, Tuly's husband Jesus and their daugther. A giant feed of spaghetti and a huge tub of ice cream helped to ensure that all were full and happy!Read more
