Today I went on a very long, hot walk.

La Paz has baked under the high altitude sun and the hills and altitude make any walk seem twice as long. Still, it's nice to be cold for once!

Managed to get some Peruvian Soles, at a rate pretty much identical to the official rate (200 Bolivianos = 94 Soles) thanks to get my money from the Cholitas opposite the touristic Calle Sagarnaga.

It was then a slog up a rather unsavoury district of La Paz to get to the cemetery. The area is basically one, hilly, dodgy market, and showcases really the worst the city has to offer. Luckily, the Cemetery was well worth it.

It's a maze of mausoleums and has an eery, quiet atmosphere. The graves are stacked on top of each other in blocks, and contain a weird array of objects from coke bottles half-filled with water to scary, children's dolls.

I took the teleferico back to the Prado, the main artery running down the centre of the city. After a pizza in a touristy restaurant near the tourist centre of the city - Calle Saganarga, I made my way back up to Sopocachi. Now the articles are basically out of my hands, am left just counting the days down until it's time to head to Peru!
