Bolivia --- Cheap !!!

i heard a lot of bolivia and above all that it is the cheapest country in SA... well we made it from cusco over the border to the sleepy little town copacabana, the bolivian starting point for island hopping trips on lake titicaca...
our trip to the sunisland, isla del sol, started beautiful and we had a chilled afternoon, some fotoshooting, short walks, rocking scenery, a lovely dinner with trout fish fresh out of the lake, sunset, etc... just to wake up this morning and it was raining and didn t stop!!
we wanted to visit the famous rock, where the sun was born and the site where the incas were created... but obviously the sun was just born here and must have chosen a different place to be today...
so we changed plans and made it further south to la paz... worlds highest capital and home of the most dangerous raod of the world.. which are about to downhill(of course) on thursday :)

what does cheap mean? well, some examples.. the hostal in copacabana was 1,25$ a night...4h bus 2$, 3 fresh made donuts 12,5 cents... and a burger with steak, fries and egg 60cents... now we ll stay in the capital for 2$ a night and eat and read ... i just bought a book for 1$... oooohhhaaa... i already love bilivia...

oh btw internet cafe 25cent / hour :) so see u soon..
