Stuck in La Paz and Beatiful Isla del Sol

---

When I was in Uyuni, I 'lost' my wallet while waiting at a bus station....No Big deal, I still had my moneybelt with my creditcard and pasport.

I asked my parents to send the bankcard to the dutch embassy, and I thought everything would be OK 2 weeks later. While waiting in La Paz for my bankcard....is still not here.....the worst thing happened.
After walking at the local marked I discovered my bag was open...and what was missing, yeah my moneybelt.
The hassle to arrange everything is the worst, the good thing I sponsored the bolivian economy a big deal, I hope they happy with it!!

Enough of the waiting I went to Lake Titicaca, one of the highest lakes in the world..almost at 4000 meters!!! There is an Island Isla del Sol, where the Inca believe the Sun was Created.
Beatiful, bit touristy Island and had a great time there! Swimming is a big word for just a dip, but more than that was not do-able with the cold temperature.
We found to many locals playing soccer so in the end we joined them and had to stay another day because we had too much fun.

I hoped when I came back in La Paz that my bankcard would have arrived. And when I called the next morning the receptionist told me to come to the Embassy because my bankcard had arrived and my temporary passport would be ready.
Happily I opened the letter, but a wrong bankcard was in it...when I looked better it was for sombody with a sort of similar name......
....so a bit dissapointed I came back to the city centre....have seen it too long now and hope for the best for tomorrow....or the day after or the they after that day.......

Still smiling in La Paz
One of the few realy nice places is the plaza the Murillo, like it a lot better than the markets, where they robbed me

Sunrise at Isla del Sol
According to the Inca's this is the place where the sun was Created...not excactly at this spot.... but liked this spot more than the actual one

Original Inca Boat on Lake Titicaca
We could have been on this boat to sail over the lake, but I'm not 60 years old yet and I don't have toooo much money....maybe one day!!

Hiking at Isla del Sol
In La Paz I met another dutchy and together we went for a hike around the island

Local, young fisherman
For the Locals not much else to do than asking the tourist to take a photo of them....ofcourse they want money

The local footbal team
We planned to hike around the Island in one day, but we had too much fun playing soccer with the locals that we needed a day more!!

A sunday for a local girl
Enjoying the great weather, just like the tourists do

More Footbal
Locals wanted to play for a bottle of coca-cola. The first game were we got to play with some 8 years old children we lost, but when we found some more gringo's to play we made it to a stunning 12-11 win

hmm, misschien moet je je money belt dan ook gewoon als belt dragen, net als dat wij deden het hele jaar in ozzie.....dag en nacht! en tijdens het surfen, en tijdens het stappen....en tijdens na het stappen! of misschien ook niet! sh*t happens maar zo kun je weel eerder terug om de travelguide uit te hangen! is er al een datum gepland? gr
