La Paz

So this time we find Emma in La Paz, a bustlling city, surrounded by hills and mountains. We arrived at our hotel to find that it had been booked out by mistake (some confusion due to two other budget groups arriving an the same day, we were the unlucky last) so we were sent for a bit of a wander to another hotel, which turned out to be ok. The next day I spent the morning on a mission to find myself a warm jacket, it can be quite warm during the day, but freezing at night time and I am not really prepaed for it. Wasn´t too hard, found something to suit my purpose and then went for a bit of a look around the city.
The afternoon was spent on a guided tour around the city and into the surrounding hills, it was quite nice to do such a touristy thing and have everything explained to you. All the monumental buildings, cathedrals, markets and even the different areas of social class, we got some great photo´s looking down into the city.
i haven´t mentioned this before but in just about every main city in south america you will find shoe-cleaning men. Everytime I see one of them I think of you dad, south americans have the most polished shoes in the world (in my opinion anyway)
