Well it might have worked out for the best that we didn´t try to cross the strike lines and goto Copacabana. On our bus to La Paz was a Bolivian who also lives in Paris part time. His family also runs a travel agency in La Paz. He looked into getting us a private driver, no buses or taxis will go, to Copacabana but no one is wlling to go to the city.
Even if we had of got through the strike line we would be stuck there and since they don´t have bank´s or atm´s there we would be sitting there running out of money:)
On the good side we´ve met some really nice people from Paris, who introduced us to the Bolivian, and we all went out to a really nice restaurant last night for dinner. The restaurant was started by a chef from Paris and the food shows it. You could have everything from duck to frogs legs to llama steak. Our bill came to 120 Bolivians, or roughly 20 Canadian, or the price of cup of coffee in a good Paris diner as the french people commented.
Looks like we´ll be in La Paz for a bit, Marla´s stomach hasn´t been feeling so well for the last 3 days, but we´re hoping its well enough to bike ride the ¨world´s most dangerous road tomorrow¨.
If not we´ll just ride it out in La Paz, which is one of the nicest cities we´ve seen so far.
