Gravity Bike Ride
A shot before the ride!La Paz is an absolutely crazy city. Cheap as chips, however Boucs and I still managed to spend like 400 quid in the week we were there - work that one out! We went to an Argentinian Steak house there and had BBQ goat for about 5 quid - very tasty!
We stayed in the Loki hostel again in La Paz, so that was the 3rd Loki hostel in a row - yippee we get a free a T-shirt. The bar maid made the mistake of telling us where the T-shirts were and to help ourselves - so we did!
We rode down the most dangerous road in the world on mountain bikes! It was absolutely amazing, I bricked it at first but towards the end I was fine. We booked it through a company called Gravity - highly recommended. People say that they're the best and I can see why now. They were very safe and always kept us on our toes.
Also visited La Paz prison. You bribe a guard to break in, then a prisoner shows you around. Mental place! Shops, cafes and a pool hall inside the pen! They showed us around the cell of

Got drunk at the hostel bar a few times and ened up in Club Orange a couple of times.
Next stop Uyuni to do a tour of the Salt Flats. By the way Bolivia is definitly the cheapest place for sending stuff back home and the Post Office opens on Sunday!
