The second day in La Paz
has started. Breakfast and some coca tea, then we were off for a slow walk to the center part of "Calacoto". The air is very thin here in La Paz because of the high altitude. We can barely move with out getting exhausted. We tried some different "Salteñas" wich is a traditional pirog filled with meat, beans, chicken or cheese. It was delicious, Super bien!

Yesterday morning we landed on El Alto airport in Bolivia.  Emedietly after landing both me and Leon got very effected of the high altitude, we became dissy allmost lost in the haze with some difficulties to breath. Leon was nearly about to pass out while trying to speak to the Bilivian border police. Luckely he did'nt. The total time of our trip from Sweden to Bolivia was about 30 hours.

We flew with boeing 747 From London to Miami


Stop in Miami and off to La Paz

We stoped by a cafe down town in La Paz and had some breakfast with pancakes and coca tea. We also got some coca candy from Gonzos friend Juan who meakes a livng out of produceing and selling his own coca candy.
We spent the first day in La Paz mostly at Gonzos house. Drinking tea and trying to cooperate with the high altitude.
