Death Road Wreckage

Wreckage from an old crash

A much greener 1,100 meters

3 hours on a bike and a beer is very refreshing.

Monkeys have an affinity for Job

Tired of the mustache

Great Barber/Peluquero.
He rubbed alcohol on to disinfect after the straight razor shave and then rubbed lotion into my face. Now that is fancy.

Best meal I had in La Paz, besides the honguitos. To be honest, the food isn’t that good there.

All this found at Pepe’s Cafe in La Paz. Real Hibiscus Ginger tea. Best tea I had in South America, other than Muna.

And after all of this, it was back to the hostal, wake up early and scarf pancakes and down some coca tea and get on the bus for Copacabana and Isla del Sol.

Viva Aventura!
