 | | As we wound our way down into the bowels of La Paz, the streets were crowded with the ubiquitous fat Cholo women, with their brightly coloured shawls, wide skirts, and their impractical and improbable bowler hats perched rakishly on top of their long plaited pig-tails. |
 | | Valle de la Luna itself is actually quite impressive - a weird eroded background, full of rock spires, pinnacles and unexpected (and seemingly endless) holes. |
 | | I had a bit of a walk around the centre of Cochabamba which, although largely a modern industrial city without the cultural treasures of Sucre or Potosí, is a pleasant place to roam, with a glorious climate to boot (I had not expected to be eating ice cream in Bolivia). |
