Another big overnight bus trip left Arequipa 2 hours late at 3.30 am. so I was pretty shattered after the early start to the Colca Valley tour the day before. This trip went via Puno and around Lake Titicaca to the border town of Yumguyo where we saw a wedding procession that made a nice change from funerals. Walked through the Peru exit and Bolivian entry areas either side of a bridge and then back into the bus and onto La Paz. Its quite a spectacular sight as you arrive at the edge of the high plain and gaze over into the city in the valley below.
La Paz was were I met up with Sean and Tanja, my South African friends from Bogata, Columbia. Remember that they helped me out after I was pick pocketed by lending me some money so I could get to New Orleans. Great to see them again and be able to pay them back that loan. Sean did the Road of Death bike ride the next day and Tanja and I had lunch at a nice Dutch restaurant and walked around a couple of nice squares. The next day I did some more walking around the city and I was ready to move on south to the very nice city of Sucre.
