Subject: Post: <p>After arriving to La Paz we met up with the boys who also had taken night bus from Sucre and arrived at the same time as us. They had been a bit more lucky, Timo complained his legs were burning in the bus due to the close proximity of heater. We were still blue from being deeply frozen..</p><p>We bought our bus tickets to Copacabana, the city on Peru border on the coast of lake Titicaca. The bus would depart at 16:30, so we had the day to spend in La Paz. The same company happened to be selling a day tour to the highest ski resort (which was not active at the moment as it's summer) and nearby Moon Valley. That was decided to be a good way to spend the day, so we just ate some quick breakfast at the bus station and hopped on the tour bus.</p><p>The bus climbed narrow sand roads up the mountain in clouds, all the way to 5200 meters. The top of the mountain was at 5400 meters and the rest of the way would have to be walked. I was looking at the hill like "how can that take 20 minutes, it's a five minute run" but after taking the first twenty steps I understood why. The air is really thin up there, and no exercise can be done without getting totally out of breath if not used to the altitude. Well, slowly most of us progressed to the top. I myself only walked almost to the top and then back down and again back almost to the top, due to Iryna dropping her iPad.. :)</p><p>After the tour we just had some llama steak in the city and now are taking the bus.. Which surprisingly is a crappy small bus again. Llama was good, by the way. I expected much worse, but the steak was really juicy and good.</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
