Back in La Paz for a morning to buy supplies before continuing south to Potosi. Woke up to find I´d made an ample meal for the local insects with about 25 bites down my left leg. Itching to hell. Went for food myself and the pancakes as good as ever in the Adventure Brewers. Unfortunately had to share it with a London girl who was the stereotypical druggy who´d clearly got carried away with the cheapness of hard drugs in Bolivia and stayed too long - she´d been here...

Officially, Potosi is the highest city in the world with about 140,000 people at an elevation of just over 4,000m. Although when I was in Peru I stayed in Cerro de Pasco, another mining city with 30,000 people at an altitude of 4,300m, so I suppose it depends on what you call a city. The city of Potosi is perched at the foot of Cerro Rico, the mountain where the mining takes places and materials such as tin, silver, and antimony are extracted. Other than the mines, a few churches, and a decen...
