Quack Quack Quack

January 7th and 8th, La Paz Bolivia

While we were at Urban Rush (see previous post), we met a British lad, Tom who works at the 'party hostel' called Loki and had brought a group from the hostel. We got chatting and decided to have a victory drink at Loki - for surviving!

Loki has a nice bar in the hostel, and seems super party so I'd recommend it if that's the kind of place you want to stay in. Tom got us our first drinks, he's a sort of manager around there, only 23 years old and has been pretty much travelling for the past 5 years before deciding to settle in La Paz for the past year now. We chatted with him and to Adam, the Israeli bartender (who hadn't heard of Kenshoo) and just generally to anyone and everyone.

We also had a long chat with an American boy who got separated from his group so was there alone and at some point when he told us he was from Minneapolis Minnesota, we got so excited about 'The Mighty Ducks' that all three of us started yelling Quack Quack Quack. It really is one of my favourite sunday movies to watch!

Happy hour began and it was double vodka in a pint glass! They then started the 'Blood bomb' challenge, drink shots for your country. Apparently India had never been up there on their board, so I was determined to represent. I then bumped into a group of Brazilians and we became fast friends and moved on with them to another bar. It was a super fun night, me and the Brazilians girls got up on the bar and danced! On hindsight, I wonder what I looked like dancing next to 3 Brazilian beauties... and how I even dared!

This morning was pretty much a write off. I did not move till about 1 pm, when beloved Berns brought back burgers to the room. We're staying in La Paz an extra night because we're taking the flight instead of a bus to Sucre. Hopefully the bags will get there with us.

All in all, a great time was had in La Paz, but I'm quite happy to spend the next 2 weeks in Sucre away from the chaos here!

India on the board for the first time!

Dancing on the bar! Bernie's terrible photo taking skills
