Day 1.1 : La Paz is bloody hilly...I am glad I left my bike in the room...lots of heavy breathy and dodgin taxis. I got my haircut(something i do for luck everytime I enter a new country) and have located the best(possibly only) place to buy topo maps in Bolivia - Instituto Geografico Militar. If you check out the pic below you'll see why it was easy to walk by...they are closed till 2:30pm so hopefully I'll get the maps I need after lunch.
Also...Shimano is NOT supported in Bolivia...its all hayes brakes...I hope my 2 extra sets of pads will go the distance.
Cheers,
Neal
