After a very interesting bus journey which involved us all getting off the bus and onto a tiny little power boat (20 people, 3 life jackets, pitch dark, slightly terrifying!) we finally arrived in La Paz and checked into the Wild Rover Hostel, little did we know we would not see light of day for a while as we did such cultural things as eat Irish stew, drink (lots)and chat to lots of lovely Irish people!
