Last days in La Paz

Well with our last few days in La Paz and Marla feeling better we decided to venture outside of the city.

For our second last day we went to a day spa in a town called Urmiri. Marla was looking forward to this for a while but it wasn´t quite as described by their brochures. First of the road there gives the world´s most dangerous road a run for its money you are litterly on the side of a mountain on a single lane road driven by a man who looked about 80. Marla kept pestering me to talkt to the man so he wouldn´t fall asleep on us.

Once we got there we met a bolivian family who spoke great english as they lived in the US. Some of the spa´s pools were not really up to par with what you would expect, the one sauna was a rock with fungus growing on it, but the large hot spring feed pool and other sauna were great!

We figured out quickly that this was a Bolivian vacation spot not a tourist vacation spot:)
