La Paz: Flying the Flag

Days 208 & 209 - Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th April 2006

Not much to report from these two days, Saturday was spent running around oding various bits and bobs. About the most interesting of these was trying to get little babges of the flags of countires I have visisted so far sewn onto my backpack. I have seen a few people with these flags on their bags and I liked the idea so I made the effort to get it done myself.

I bought the relevant flags/badges, found a seamstress shop, pinned the badges on where I wanted them and left the lady to it. On my return a few hours later i found that the badges were not only sewn on in places I didn’t want them, but the majority of the flags were upside down. Not pleased. So now I have upside down badges of Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela on my bag. I’m still waiting for the first smart ass to tell me they are upside down…….

Sunday was a nothing day, just wandering around the city not doing much. I did find some stalls selling copied CD’s & DVD’s for about 60p each, so made a few purchases.

Love or hate this travel blog? Make suggestions on ways to improve it, give me ideas, voice your opinion, tell me what you think. And last but not least, spread the word.
