Lazying on a sunny afternoon...on a Tuesday

It's a quiet one today. Gemma is currently reading about the new Bribery Act (www.justice.gov.uk/publications/bribery-bill.htm) which is coming into effect (interesting!) and I'm sitting here surfing the net and updating this blog. We're also drinking red wine, it's 4.30 in the afternoon and we're both nursing hangovers. It feels like Buenos Aires again.

However, we're in a bit of a quandary as to what to do next. Do we stay in La Paz and ride out the Easter break here where we've got a room, or move on to Copacabana which is going to be full of pilgrims / holidaying Bolivians? We are also likely to face higher prices and limited room availability.

Tiwanaku
Yesterday we went to the pre-Incan ruins of Tiwanaku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku) which are only about 20 kilometres from Lake Titicaca and are situated on the altiplano. It was interesing, although you have to use your imagination. There's very little above the surface apart from the odd column or stone gate interspersed with huge blocks scattered around the place. It's still an archaeological site, and we were told that only about 10% has been excavated. That 10% has also faced centuries of pillaging from Incas and colonialists.
