26.05.: La Paz
Thursday:
In Cochabamba, we had the luck of making the acquaintance of Mercedes, a native woman travelling on the same bus, also to La Paz, where she works as transporter. Of what, we didn't understand, maybe a taxi driver. She steered us towards the terminal (we didn't arrive there), and immediately found a guy trying to fill up his soon leaving Cama-bus (the most comfortable class) with passengers for 30Bs a seat. I think, although I'm not sure, that the usual price was between 60 and 90Bs!
Found the hostel Dom & Georgie recommended, called Jach'a Inti, at 35Bs a night in a three bed room, with a shared kitchen, and next to a vegetarian restaurant doing a very tasty and copious menu del dia (soupa y segunda) for 8Bs.
After dinner, when we all were complaining about overful bellies, we strolled through the streets of La Paz, and immediately found lots of stand selling lama foetuses.
lama foetuses. Yum.
