La Paz, Bolivia

At 3660m, La Paz is the highest administative capital in the world. Ok, that's all the knowledge stuff you get. We spent 4 nights in La Paz. Two of them at a very nice two bedroom apartmentment where I caught up on movie watching, indulging in foods I hadn't had for ages, like real cheese (not the fresh squeeky stuff), and uploading photos. There was also a very nice French run restaurant down stairs where I had a fabulous onion soup and pork belly with mashed potatoes, apple and devine gravy. Yes it is true I am a tad obsessed with food at the moment. Looking forward to some good kiwi tucker.

Our bus making its way across Lake Titicaca on our way to La Paz.

Our fantastic apartment's kitchen. I made mac 'n' cheese there.

Check out the cheese oozing down the side of the onion soup. Yum!

Typical street in La Paz.

See how the city continues up the hill in the background, it's massive.

The beginning of the witches market.

There are normal stalls and then there are the ones with dead things and animal bits.

Multi tasking - selling fruit and spinning wool.

A dead things stall.
There were also piles of dried llama fetuses which are placed under the cornerstone of new houses for good luck. Supposedly dried toucan beaks keep away bad spirits. Who would have thought.

Next stop Sucre. In 29 days I'll be on a plane heading back to New Zealand!
