We had barely had a wink of sleep the whole journey and the prospect of getting into a bed as soon as possible was all we wanted. We went back to the Adventure Brew Hostel and picked up our bags managed to slyly have ourselves a free breakfast and then walked on down the street to their other establishment the BB.

Not in our budget range in result take away reclining chairs hosteses and built in entertainment 70 for 22 Hours and insert the Local Bus still comfy enough more like a run down school camp bus no toilet and I guess how you look at it no built in entertainment but I was definately more entertained for the 8 hours on this ride than the http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-777514.html Manja i ryto ikeliauja darb tad lieku namie vienas.

What a name for a city there must have been a lot of fighting going on around when the city was named.We reached Nuestra Senora La Paz just before sunrise. As the city is built inside almost a canyon when you approch the city you are astonished with the low central area with their cluster of lightings and the city climbing spreading on to hills surrounding the street li http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-775156.html Friday 010213 Another day with a border crossing meant another day with an early start. We rode out of Puno and followed the southern shores of Lake Titicaca. Often we passed women or boys wearing thongs while herding goats or llamas along the lakes edge where the small snow drifts and ice still clung to clumps of grass and bushes. We approached the Desaguadero border and were pulled over http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-774812.html My first impressions of la Paz came from the stunning view I saw out my window as my plane approached the sparkling city from the north. My plain flew in at 600 am and while all I wanted to to was sleep it was obvious la Paz never did. This city is a sea of light situated in the high altitude mountains and while I have only been here for 24 hours I can tell you the lights never really go out.I http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-773836.html Given Chris was on holiday and time was a little more of the essence for him we decided that the 100 it cost to fly from the mountains of Sucre down to the jungle of Rurrenabaque would be money well spent especially as the alternative would be over 30 hours of Bolivian buses on Bolivian roads in the rainy seasonRurrenabaque has developed into a popular jumping off point for two broad http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-772490.html Butch Cassidy Kid the next time I say Let39s go someplace like Bolivia let39s GO someplace like Bolivia.CopacabanaAfter an uneventful bus ride along the banks of Lake Titicaca and after paying 135 each to cross Bolivia39s borders we arrived in the resort town of Copacabana.

Someone in Cuzco that I met described it as a city with no rules which I think in many ways is a fair description. The traffic here is insane there seems to be some kind of outside celebration every 100 yards the streets are constantly http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-770451.html Bienvendidos a Bolivia...a landlocked piece of land in the heart of the continent it is the poorest among all the countries in South America. On the west side it borders Peru and Chile. There are two mountain ranges Cordillera Real in the northwest and Cordillera Central southwest that surrounds the antiplano high plains region where the capital city La Paz sits along with the white desert pla http://www.travelblog.org/South-America/Bolivia/La-Paz-Department/La-Paz/blog-768320.html
