LAST MESSAGE
26 March 2006
After we drove one night and one day by train and bus from Tupiza by way
of Oruro, we reached a little tired in the evening of the 24 of
march, the
topmost city of the world, La Paz. Already during the arrival in
the dawn were we overwhelmed of this gigantic city, whose center lies on
3600m in a ravine. Around this valley hundreds of simple stone houses
were built up to the hills until to 4000m. In the hotel Sucre Palace, directly
on El Prado, the main street of La Paz, we book a room for four
nights. Yesterday and today we moved up and down the steep lanes and by
the innumerable market routes. We are fascinated by the multicolored,
pulsating life and the traffic chaos in the clogged roads with
the cars those are always honking. In good weather, tomorrow we plan to make a
trip on the 5400m high mountain Chacaltaya. Starting from the 28 April
2006, we make a 10 days continuing journey to the lake Titicaca, then to
Puno and Cusco in Peru and at the end we visit the world-well-known ruin city Machupicchu
before we go again back to La Paz.
