29.02.08 Sweet dreams

Our first full day in La Paz and to celebrate we spent most of it asleep in our apartment hotel. Happily, we were woken for the arrival of breakfast, a simple Continental number of delicious rolls, jam and coffee, as well as the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. It was a revelation to discover that even the finest chocolat chaud I’d had before was really no better than river silt.
After dinner in a Mexican restaurant, Fiona and Gustav (her colleague and fiancĂ©e) ambitiously took us out to a rock concert in a cinema. We were privileged to have the hottest tickets in town—this was the city at its vibrant peak. Unfortunately, I pulled a Smye and passed out as soon as I sat down.
