| 5400 m! |
Shopping & 5400 m (very easy one though)! We did not make it for Huayna Potosi (6088m), a shame! We got both a cold... and we guessed we needed to be in a very good shape for the 3 days... I won't know if I would have been able too... hrrrrr... Otherwise, La Paz which is NOT the official capital (but which looks like it) - only governmental, is far nicer than Lima we thought and we prefered it too than Quito but is higher too (3650m)... Up and Down is what you do slowly... We tasted our first Bolivian saltenas (empanadas al horno), went to the cine (for a little change), went to climb the Chacaltaya (5400m) but we only needed to climb 200m to get to the top!!! Normally there is no snow at this season (winter) but we did have it that day! We quite enjoyed the light snow storm up there. Nice view too! To finish off this mountainous day, we went for a little treat... A swissfondue!!! After 10 months on the road, I can tell you, this was delicious... Before heading off, we finally sent an heavy package of 13 kgs! Regalos, mis amigos!
