Semana Santa was really crowded in La Paz because most
people only had to work two days that week so a lot of people came here for a long
weekend. You could see a lot of people camping on the beach and the Whale shark
area was filled with boats taking tourists.
We had the Easter weekend off and used the time to go Paddle boarding and to Balandra Beach. If you walk around the corner at the Mushroom rock at the beach you come to a part of Balandra that is usually less crowded.

The next week Sanna, Andrea and I did a hike on a mountain
at the end of the Malecon. From there you have an amazing view over all of La
Paz. We left kind of late so it was completely dark when we went back down but
it was so worth it for the view we got.

Last weekend we went diving to Los Islotes again. The sea
lions were really playful that day and one of them kept biting my fins so it was lots of fun! Also Pontus and Sanna
finished their advanced Open Water course that day and are now certified.

On Monday Sanna and Andrea left to go back to Sweden so now
it’s just me and Pontus here. They had a great time here and I miss them
already. Right before they left we counted all their encounters and they got to
swim with 94 Whale sharks in the four weeks they've been here! J

I’m leaving on Saturday so I’m hoping for a lot of Whale sharks during my last days. I had a great time and hope to be back one
day!
