Wild Rover has put up decorations at long last- there´s a plastic tree with spangly lights in the foyer. Am disproportionately excited about this, and also missing all the festive fun at home.
Have had a very chilled out couple of days in La Paz mostly featuring sleep. Totally getting how people end up getting stuck here for weeks on end - sadly my schedule doesn´t permit this. Am tagging along with some Aussie boys to Lake Titicaca on Weds eve, then up to Cusco and Macchu Pichu, before a bit of sand dune fun (the boys have turned up their nose at this concept. Seemingly sand dunes are pretty common down under).
The night life here is awesome - Wild Rover v.keen on handing out free shots etc. General gist is to prop up the bar til about 1.30 and then head out. Post bar locations have been somewhat hit and miss. Saturday night took us to the Blue House, where there were no less than 3 black outs before we eventually gave it up and went home, despite the efforts of the bar staff to keep us there by bribing us with jelly shots. Last night was pub quiz night - definitely a set up as we didn´t win despite being a frankly powerful team. Got incredibly overexcited when asked during the sporting round ´Which race takes place annually between Putney and Mortlake´- tis a pretty rare occurrence for me to contribute to sports trivia. Carefully wrote down answer with ´filthy tabs´in brackets next to Cambridge. Out after that to Musick (the boys swearing that we were just going to have 1 drink.....) which was diabolical and totally empty. Ended up going to Room 36 instead. Tis a club that has to move around all the time as they set it up in a house and eventually the neighbours get hacked off and complain. All very secretive. Ceiling roofed with egg cartons, and lots of Christmas fairy lights everywhere. Twas awesome.
