Sunday 20th April
Anna and Dave were busy with work stuff in the morning, so Andrew and I again tried to visit museums, but were again thwarted cos they were all shut (as they had been open until 0100 that morning). So again, we explored more of the central city, and I visited the Witches Market and the handicrafts market.
We were back at the hostal in the early afternoon when I heard a bit of commotion outside, so went to investigate (thinking it would be another protest), but found that it was actually a religious parade, with a statue of the Virgin in a decorated car at the front, with dancers and a band following behind, followed by the congregation that had just attended a mass at Inglesia San Francisco.
We met Anna and Dave about 4pm and went for coffee and cake (yes, more coffee and cake!), and then went shopping at a supermarket to stock up on food for Uyuni (as we are expecting the food on the Salar to be edible at best).
we went to a very nice café for dinner, not far from Anna and Dave's place, called Café Mediterraneo. Both Andrew and I had the lamb special – which was absolutely fabulous (as was everyone else´s food). We also had some great Argentinian cabernet sauvignon, and a free antipasto platter – if you are ever in La Paz – I world highly recommend this place!
