15.03.08 The fifth best bar in La Paz, they claim

After some research, I had found somewhere showing the final games of the six nations rugby. Understandably, Oliver’s Travels is not a typical Bolivian bar but claims Lonely Planet’s view that it’s “the worst cultural point in La Paz” as an honorific. Over a Bolivianised full English breakfast and a beer in the “100% fake English pub”, I watched the games with Gustavo and his English friend Tom. Very good. There was one Bolivian in there and, of course, was behind the bar.

After a kip to sleep off the breakfast into lunchtime and then afternoon beers, we spent the evening at Fiona’s for Peru's national drink—Pisco Sours—made by a proper Peruvian. Delish and the raw white didn't cause any complications. I have the recipe, if anyone is interested.
