Jimmy!

I arrived in La Paz at 6 in the morning, and took a taxi to my hostel, unknowingly that it was only 3 blocks away. I then sat around at the hostel and waited until 10.30, when Jimmy appeared, Jimmy from Bariloche and Easter Island. We had agreed to meet up, to go to the pampas (wetlands) and the jungle. So we set out to eat breakfast, having to take a big detour (we went to a general area to book a tour) around the enourmous demonstration, due to the autonomy vote of the easten part of Bolivia.

We had a very good if spartan breakfast, and set out to find travel agencies. The first one was closed, so we went around to the major street, and had some talks at different locations. However we ended up choosing a 3D/2N pampas tour (72 dollars) and a 2D/1N jungle tour, as well as flying to Rurrenebaque (where the tours begin), and a Death Road tour (my second) the following day.
There really wasn't much more to the day, we had great fun, and for dinner I had chorizo sausages with a small steak and mashed potatoes at the hostel, by some miracle for free.
