La Paz, Bolivia's capital city. The remote, land-locked country only has this metropolis so enjoy the few scenes of this high-altitude concrete jungle.
The museum above featured traditional musical instruments from Bolivia, as well as internationally, throughout history.
Tall, wide load coming through!
Typical shop at one of the many markets.
Anything goes at the markets, from fresh produce (above) to cute-bottomed mannequins (below).
Han (below) gets her shoes polished by one of the pesty, masked shoe-shine boys. They make you feel very self conscience about the state of your shoes. A few even tried to get me to have my slops polished!
Above: Typically short and stout, Bolivian kids take after their parents!
Below: It´s not only an African thing ...
Below: And there are even massive boers (Rash´s pet crocodile, for those who were lucky enough to have met him before he disappeared) in Bolivia!
Below: Most of the residential areas of La Paz are situated on the hills flanking the city bowl. Tough walk home for most locals, especially at such a high altitude.
Above: Han helps out a zebra with advertising the zebra-crossings on the busy streets.
There´s no excuse to go hungry with all the markets and street food-stalls around. Just that you don´t know what you are eating half the time ... always a surprise!
