Znów La Paz

Po kilku tygodniach w Sucre przyszedł czas na zmiany. Dzięki uprzejmości kolegi z MyWayAround wybór padł na La Paz. Nie to, że długo się nad wizytą zastanawiałam, bo miasto samo w sobie rzuca na kolana. Kiedy doda się do tego wskazówki od osoby, która tam mieszka i towarzystwo genialnych osób, wychodzi nam wycieczka na 5+.

La Paz

Definitely a place to go to do some shopping, partying and to have a hangover. I have heard before that it was supposed to be dangerous. So when I actually went there and was walking around with my backpack at 5am I had my eyes looking in every direction. There were two guys passing me, stopping and following me. After the first one I changed the side of a street, after another, again. And so on and so on. From the perspective of time I think they wanted to help me with my backpack and I was just being too sensitive. BTW, I just love to walk around foreign cities early in the morning. It’s totally different.

To make a long story short I was supposed to stay there just for a day or two, but it made such a good impression on me that I’ve stayed for a week. Plus I had met a guy called Szymon who made my day and created a hangover with gorzka żołądkowa. He also took me to the place where I ate a 3 course lunch for E1.50, dessert included and shops with 60 year old ponchos. That was fun.

I was shopping quite a lot trying to find the perfect present for my beloved husband Tomasz, I also went to the witches market to buy a dead lama for our apartment and a juice from cactus to heal my burns.

Then I tried to cook a bit with a group of friends so i bought all the tasty and juicy fruits and vegetables from chollitas. I Would love to see the same prices in Amsterdam! This time I didn’t poison myself.

As a real tourist I’ve decided not to waste a day just because of hangover. I decided to take a tourist bus around the city. It was not as interesting as it could be. I got almost boiled under the roof glass and had to listen to an english guide through the italian channel but at least I didn’t spend a day in a bed.

I saw a wedding, what amazing dresses! It was a great privilege to see chollitas in nice dresses, wow! And i met the guys who clean shoes. Their faces are always covered, apparently because it’s illegal to clean shoes in this city.

Finally I ended up in Loki at a party and it was good! They made alcohol jellies that they were throwing at people and I even caught one. Some people were not that lucky and ended up with one in their hair or on their face. But at least this was an improvement on the personal metal concert i had in my room the night before.

And what was even more amazing, in the whole city you could see people training for a dance in an upcoming festival. It looked great.
