Wed 11th
Another day walking around La Paz.
If you ask for directions here you never get a left or a right.
It´s always up, or up further.
All the roads are as steep as Patricks hill in Cork and at altitude that can get a bit tiring.
I got my camera stolen today.
The scam is a fairly straight forward one.
First a distraction, in this case a big spit on my arm.
When you look down to see what it is you hear someone say something like "what´s that".
Then you know you are being robbed.
Someone is brushing past you at a tight and buisy spot and then there are about six people moving off in different directions and you don`t have a chance of getting it back.
So in the evening I bought a new camera.
Much better than my old one.
One of the few things that isn`t cheaper in south america is electronic equipment.
You can´t help thinking things like, that's about a years worth of dinners in Bolivia.
Ah well.
