Arrived early in La Paz. The highest city in the world. Apparently they play all the matches for the Bolivian side here and due to the altitude the other sides get a hiding!! Brazil got spanked 5-0 last time out.
I went to the Tiwanaku ruins with Andrea, Denny and Jenny. This was amazing and the stones were cut more accurately than with using laser technology. They also had statues and faces painted which were clearly not from South American continent. This suggested that they were travelling continents before Europeans arrived.
A sad day as it was our last day as a group, although we are getting a new guide - woo hoo. We went for a meal at Olivers Pub - officially the 5th best bar in La Paz no less. I had a beef curry, others had some nice English nosh, and Irena was talking to the big man on the white telephone. Funnily enough Sieman had not been right all day either. We gave him some immodium to help him out. On the route home Sieman decided to return the immodium to the pavement. Iam sure the locals must have thought we were drunks.
We are booked to do the death road tomorrow. I am really excited but a little nervous too.... It is the road with the highest number of fatalities or at least it used to be until someone realised sticking a road on the edge of a cliff without enough space for two prams to pass was not a particularly safe idea.
