Dried llama fœtus

We had agreed that by the time we got to La Paz we would have recovered from our party excesses nearly two months previously in Chile. After the towers of beer in Sucre we weren't so sure, but we had already booked ourselves several nights in what we had heard is one of the most extreme party...

Events that make life what it is....

We soon approached a steep icy slope. This slope had much less snow on it and now it was a true test of the strength of our crampons. We needed durability in these babies, they could save us from a fall down the icy slope. This section was steeper, with less snow, so now it was a situation in...

And the summit attempt.....

I"m awoken, well not really awoken, since sleep never came. The only thing that truly did was the howling of the wind and the iciness in my toes as I lay in my thin sleeping-bag, trying at every moment to sleep and get comfortable. Well, yeah...that didnt exactly happen. The two Chinsee guys...

Internet Cafes in La Paz

You walk into an internet cafe. By the way, you"re in La, Paz Bolivia. The sign out front says "internet". You go in and ask to guy in your most broken Spanish if he has fast internet connection.

Conquering the Mountain

I had shopped around town for a bit. The word on the street was that there existed this god-like mountain called Huyana Potosi. The mountain was 6088 meters and supposedly, one of the easiest 6000+ mountains in the world. Sonce Ive been a kid I have always gotten altitude sickness, but...

Lake Titticaca and then the Craziness of La Paz

I arrived at Lake Titticaca after an exhausting border crossing. I had to get about 6 different papers and stamps, a couple of pat downs by Bolivian Officers, and of course the 134 dollar enterance fee for U.S. citizens. but hey I"m not involved: the U.S. charges these poor Bolivians to enter...

Death Road and Drug Dealing Mothers

I had initially decided not to bother with Death Road. The thought of doing something purely because it was dangerous didn’t make much sense to me. During the course of our travels we had heard more and more good things about it though, and after a quiet few days in Cusco I decided I would do...

The Law of La Paz

Customs didn’t seem to have a problem with my “replicado” certificate. I´m not even sure that they checked it. Anyway, we passed into Bolivia easily and soon we were being driven to Loki La Paz (yes, another Loki – we had now earnt free t-shirts for being such loyal disciples). My first glimpse...
