Today, we drove to La Paz. With one exception there was nothing remarkable about that drive. For those who may be interested in this route, the road is generally in great shape and there’s hardly any traffic. Which makes for a relaxing time. The exception is about a kilometer section of road that’s being remade, during which one has to drive on rutted dirt.

After coming over the hill to see Bahia La Paz in front as a spectacular view, it becomes a reality that La Paz is a different place than any we’ve visited so far on this trip. It’s relatively clean and tidy, and the roads are well maintained, and, boy, is it busy and bustling! At the same time, it’s a tourist magnet, with all sorts of bauble stands set up along the malecon and city center streets. All good fun.

Our hotel, Central Bed & Breakfast, is 2 blocks from the malecon, and right in the city center, but, once in our room, it feels very relaxed and quiet.

Apart from a 6 block hike to the supermarket for supplies, and a visit to a service laundromat, we just chilled and wandered around a bit.

Tomorrow, we start exploring.
