We head to the Bolivian Amazon Basin tomorrow for the pampas wetlands tour over the next 3 days 2 nights. Today we tried to pick up a few bits and pieces for our travels, We done a bit of shopping and got an Argentina official jersey for 8 euro, not sure if it's real or not but it has all the hallmarks of the real deal.

We grabbed a few other bits and wandered around the witches market, where they sell various potions, etc...I was expecting it too be a bit more freaky then what it was, the worst was the llama foetus they have outside the shops, apparently their good luck and the Bolivians get them blessed and bury them under their houses..hmmmm.

I'm kind of glad were getting out of La Paz, we ended up in the middle of a demonstration and miners were lobbing dynamite on the street, we got the skates on and moved off the main street..to somewhere safer away from the dynamite!
