Te amo Bolivia

 I know I’ve already gushed about Bolivia, but it really does deserve it. Today I went on a day tour with a guide who showed me around. 

La Paz has a gondola system, in the same way other cities might have a metro. The lines go all around the city, and given how steep the city is it’s no wonder that it’s the fastest way to get between multiple places. The only weird part is that sometimes the gondolas pass rather close to people’s homes, and clearly some of them never open their curtains because all day everyday people can look in!

Thoughts on Bolivia and up next

Bolivia is a beautiful country, with wonderful people. You don’t even need Spanish to get around, just a smattering will get you the basics and I’ve yet to come across a hotel or restaurant where they didn’t have at least basic English. I would highly recommend Bolivia as a place to visit, it’s underrated and has a lot to offer. 

Welcome to La Paz

Well the altitude was a rude shock last night. It wasn’t bad, just mild headache, difficulty sleeping, I just didn’t think it would hit given I’ve been at various altitudes recently. But then again it’s been a few weeks. Fortunately it’s all cleared up and I’m all good now.

Tomorrow we head out to Uyuni and the salt flats. We’ve been warned no wifi, so it might be 4 or 5 days until my next update.
