... Ah well! We arrive in La Paz on Thursday afternoonand got a chance to wander around the area of the hotel. The Hotel was called Senorial Montero and is in an excellent location for the local markets and shops. Dinner out on Thursday evening was at ...

... doesn't get to us as much as it used to but it's still annoying.  We are actually staying in a place called Senorial Hotel which wasn't what we were expecting.  It's massive and reminds us of an old school with creaky floorboards and lots ...

... being grilled over the lack of an official ïnvite letter¨. Finally through paperwork - and no oxygen required, we headed to the hotel. La Paz is quite the republic... pretty different from Lima. We were able to head out to the market for a bite ...

... orientation tour and found ourselves diving in and out of the traffic as we attempted to cross the dangerous city streets. Luckily our hotel had a huge illuminated sign on the top making it easy to find in this wierd, whacky and crazy city. The following ...

... Yellow Fever cert...apparently they were supposed to jab you on the spot if you did not have one! In a cab with a Belgium girl whose hotel was down the road, got key and went to room, laid down for a nap only to be disturbed and moved next door with ...

La Paz.  Un peu grise, un peu sale, un peu bruyante, un peu trop grosse... une vraie grande ville digne dune capitale quoi!  Á 3660m d'altitude, logée entre l'altiplano bolivien et la vallée des montagnes, c'est la capitale la plus haute du ...

For the last city in this leg of the trip we ended up in La Paz.  It is the highest capital city in the world sitting at 3636 meters above sea level.  (Are you getting the hint that everything in Bolivia is the highest of something?) But having ...

We arrived in La Paz mid-afternoon after some tricky border crossings and troubles with our 30 day visas (given that we were leaving Peru on the 31st day, but after some discussion we got away with it. This time I made sure I got a 90 day one for ...

La Paz is the capital city of Bolivia, the highest capital in the world!  A total mad place, there are absolutely no rules of the road and the most fun is getting a taxi trip from A to B!  Our own bus "Frankie" had a bit of a run in with an ...

Now this is one country I never ever anticipated visiting. I recall from the Roy & HG Show during the Sydney Olympics that they made fun of Bolivia for some strange reason and yelled out "Helloooo Bolivia". That is my only knowledge of Bolivia up ...

    Getting into Bolivar was a chaotic experience. As soon as we arrived at the Peruvian border, our van was swamped by young men trying to get us into a taxi motorcar. Getting across the borders was easy for us but Hernan had tp pay ...

You don´t see La Paz until you´re almost in the city. Our bus drove in through the anti-plano (flat bit), where a good proportion of La Paz´s population subsist: a brief glimpse of the places that tourists don´t go. We´d been told or read ...
