Well you´ll be pleased to know I have arrived safe and sound in La Paz, Bolivia after a very tiring 24 hours of travelling. It was an amazing sight coming into La Paz on the plane, the sun was just starting to come up and the light was hitting the snow-capped mountain tops, giving off a beautiful orange glow, surrounded by white fluffy clouds. Driving into La Paz was amazing too, down the long windy roads, the buildings clinging to the side of the canyon on every spare inch of land.
The altitude hasn´t got to me much which I´m pleased about considering Bolivia is the southern hemisphere´s highest nation with La Paz standing at 3660m above sea level! Just a slight headache, but I´m sure that will wear off in a bit.
Despite it being very sunny here, the temperatures are a little to be desired, hitting just 15 degrees so far here today. I will need to make sure I wrap up warm this evening when the sun goes down!
I´m not quite sure what to do with myself today, as others from my trip won´t be arriving until tomorrow. Think I will just take it easy and try to find some food in a bit. The perfect opporunity to test out some of my GCSE Spanish, wish me luck!!
