And now we climb up the Andes.

The plane landed in La Paz airport, the capital of Bolivia, at almost 4000 m altitude. The air was so thin and transparent.

I brought my luggage to the hotel room, went for a walk through the city, came back, fell on the bed at 5 pm and slept 13 hours non-stop... Just not used to the lack of oxygen...
