Checked out of the hostel and had some breakfast in town. Had a couple of hours to kill before getting the bus so had a wander along the shore of the lake. Lots of garbage but it’s quite pretty along the shoreline.

Bus trip was about 4 hours broken by a ferry trip across part of the lake. The passengers all went in little motor boats but the bus was put on a tiny barge which looked worryingly top heavy.
It got to the other side without capsizing though and we continued our journey.
Leaving Copacabana we had travelled over some high mountains but now we were back on the flat Altiplano which continued with incredible snow topped mountains in the not so far distance until we reached the outlying suburbs of La Paz.
La Paz itself is down off the Altiplano so it was quite spectacular when the road suddenly plunged down the side of a previously unseen valley to reveal the city below.

We stayed a couple of nights in Laz Paz. We both were feeling a little sick (I think our breakfast juice in Copacabana might have been mixed with tap-water) so didn’t see much of the city yet. We were staying near the “Witches Market” which was a street with stalls selling all kinds of herbal remedies and potions and trinkets including dried Llama fetuses which are supposedly good luck.
There are also many Guitar shops and we bought one for Sarah as she has been missing playing. (It’s her Birthday on the 18th) It’s a little smaller than full sized and weighs almost nothing so shouldn’t be too inconvenient to carry.
