The flight was interesting. The landing strip is a field, and the plane swerves about a lot until you take off. And then when we landed the plane veered off sharply to the left, and I though here we go, were going to crash. But the pilot got us back to the runway in one piece.
I decided to take a spare day as I had some stuff I needed to do - but had an absolutely rubbish day. I had a few things I needed to do, and everywhere was closed. Then the laundry lost half of my clothes, and then found them, but wouldn´t let me have them because I didn´t have the ticket which they´d insisted I give to them when I picked up the first lot of clothes. And I stayed at a rubbish hostal, and had a rubbish meal out. It was a bad day. Oh well.
I had been planning to walk up a mountain called Huayna Potosi - it´s just over 6000 meters - but I would have had to acclimatise for 3 days in La Paz, and the weather was really bad. Someone who I met had tried it a few days before and they had been wading through waist high snow, and ended up having to turn back.
So I decided to get out of La Paz - and I´m so glad I did...
Here´s a few pics of Rurre:
