Again, we spent a fair portion of the day on buses but finally arrived at the last destination of our tour. At 3600m, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world (apparently Tibet is fairly close). We managed a quick walking tour of the city before dinner but everyone was exhausted again and the night ended relatively early.
Our last full day of the tour was spent at the Tiahuanaco ruins founded pre-Incan times, around 1000 years ago. Even though this site is older, I still found Machu Picchu to be much more interesting. Or was I getting over ruins???
I tried to change my flight to Rio as I wanted to tackle 'the most dangerous road in the world' on a mountain bike but it was too much drama. The next morning was a rather strange feeling as we said our goodbyes and went our seperate ways. Patricia had been extremely helpful in bridging the culture differences such as language and a fantastic guide overall. I still hope to keep in contact with the group.
