Tonight is my last shift working at Oliver´s Travels before leaving La Paz on Monday morning, en route back to Peru. It has been a pretty awesome time in Bolivia but I am looking forward to leaving. After a while the constant offer of drugs everywhere gets pretty tiresome and walking back from work at 3am in temperatures below zero gets pretty annoying so it will be nice to head back in to Peru to actually get a little bit of warmth.

The last couple of days I have been spending alone in La Paz after Amy and Gemma finally got their flight out of here. It has been a pretty relaxing few days as I have had the days off work so had the time to myself to wonder round the city and do some more exploring.

Unfortunately it was $102 US and I could not afford it so reluctantly declined. Everyone else in the group was doing it but I wasnt too upset a...
