Valle de la Luna La Paz

Saturday 28^th Jan

We are in La Paz and it is CRAZY busy here. Back to the big city…. :0( We get a cab from the bus terminal to our hotel which is really only about 10 blocks from away but because we are back up the altitude is making walking 10 steps a struggle. Once in the cab (which is big city prices of £1.50!) we …

We kwamen rond 16u toe in La Paz. Na onze klokken een uurtje dichter bij onze thuistijd te zetten (5u verschil nu), begonnen we aan onze zoektocht naar een hostal in de drukke stad. Het was moeilijker dan gedacht om iets goedkoop en kwalitatief goed genoeg te vinden, maar uiteindelijk vonden we in hotel Majestic een goeie kamer met douche en wifi. …

Das Maschinenzeitalter schien in dieser Ecke noch nicht Einzug gehalten, alles funktionierte von Hand …

Vandaag een leuke dag in La Paz doorgebracht. Na een lange nachtrust vanochtend weer fris en fruitig aan het ontbijt. Om half negen vanochtend werden we opgehaald voor een citytour in La Paz. Er stond een busje voor het hotel en een aardige gids nam ons mee. We reden langs het plein met de kathedraal en de regeringsgebouwen. In de buurt daarvan …

The Valle De La Luna is a strange moon like formation situated just far enough out of La Paz for the smell and sound of the capital to be completely blocked off and after over 2 weeks of being a resident it was about time to find a bit of sanctuary. The ...
