Got the boat back from Isle Del Sol mid-morning then got a cheap bus to La Paz. Didn't take too long so quickly showered and went off to a steakhouse which was meant to be unreal. La Paz is 3660m above sea level so we felt pretty acclimatised; this stabbed us in the back later on. We ordered at 1915 and then after the boys had a couple of 7% beers and me some nice red we saw massive slabs of meat turn up, guess this was our food! Over an hour later our steaks turned up (Joel and Laurie having a 300g sirloin and me a 450g t bone). Best steaks we have ever had, they were insane and mine was better than the ones we had in Colombia!! 6 beers, 2 glasses of red, 2 300g sirloins and 1 450g T-bone all for £13 each, was incredible!! Went back to the hostel and got on it with this couple (Aussie Ross and English Elaine). They were a real good laugh, doing some karaoke with the guys whilst I looked after the beers. I started off drinking slow as I was being responsible....soon I joined Joel and Laurie in being like a 16 year old drinking for the first time, we were all a mess. Laurie on the other hand had taken being a mess to a new extreme, throwing up in the bar, being carried to his room and then...being sick all over the girl asleep in our room!!! Not surprisingly she moved room but Lawrence still wasn't finished, throwing up all on his clothes and bed. I remember when I had my first beers. We all woke up pretty ropey, Laurie actually dead the worst I've ever seen anyone hungover. Me and Joel booked our death road cycle but Laurie had to come and sign stuff, when he did me and Joel were shocked to see how I'll someone could possibly look, he was in a bad way, proven by not taking his sick sheet off his bed for 6 hours!! Me and Joel walked round the hostel when this Dutch girl started to call on me and see how I was feeling, I don't remember her at all. Turns out Laurie wasn't the only showman that night, apparently I passed out on the beanbags and thrown up, she had found me and carried me to my bed. Me and Laurie decided it must have been the altitude!! Went on death rode the next day (hangover gone) and did it with Ross and Elaine too, was so much fun and the views were real good too! Spent about 5 hours going down, Ross falling off (Aussies never as good at sport as us...) and was a real sweet ride! Finished and had some buffet lunch and then had to wait on our d*** of a guide, he was a muppet all day!! Got back around 2200 so me and Laurie went to get food, the only place open was a chicken shop.... Went back to the hostel and had some beers with Ross and some other guys we've met, as I'm boring I went to bed earlyish whilst they all went out to some club, Laurie going back to some girls and getting w***ed off, wish is was 15 again. Apparently Joel stalked this South African girl, bought her drinks all night only for another guy to taker her back. My pep talk the other week obviously hasn't done them any good. Woke up feeling good so skyped Ruth for 2 hours or so then went to meet the others, started to feel I'll on the way home. First I thought it was just seeing Ruths face made me feel sick but not before long and a few visits to the sit down banos I realised I was in trouble!!! Was meant to be meeting Ida and Miriam (2 Dutch girls from Inca trek) but I couldn't make it, felt a bit bad but... Laurie turned up later feeling exactly the same but Joel was ok so went to some gay wrestling, whatever floats his boat.. Me and Laurie worked out the only different thing we ate to Joel was the chicken.... Went to meet the girls for dinner, me and Laurie didn't eat anything but we were glad to meet up with them again! Woke up the next day still feeling the same but brave enough to go and get souvenirs from the markets and then brave a supposedly 3 hour bus to Oranu. Took Imodium and glad we did, bus took nearly 5 hours the driver was picking people up off the street!! Laurie had to literally run off the bus at one point!! We found a hotel at our destination and had some well-deserved sit down banos time!!! And we met Laurie's wonder women he slept with in the 'Cusco' blog, turns out me and Joel were unfair on her grading so have raised in from a 5 to a 5.5/10.
