Day: 1 February 2026

  • Dan and Ruth stand on an overlook, pointing at a seaside MeliΓ‘ hotel in the distant city below.

    Found GC45BDD Mirador La Paz

    My partner Ruth and I are staying at the MeliΓ‘ hotel down in the city, from which amazingly I was able to get a WiFi connection despite the considerable distance!
