That night we went to a restaurant called 'La Comedie', it was a French restaurant and was tipped to be one of the best in La Paz. The choice on the menu was immensely difficult, what to go for, lamb, llama or duck, or about another twenty odd different meats. I chose the lamb because I couldn't resist the description, 'whole de-boned leg of lamb'. There was about six of us in total, four had chosen the lamb, one went for stuffed trout, another went for roast duck breast. When they came out, the lamb dished were fucking huge, it was just meat, meat and more meat. To be brutally honest, the duck probably tasted the best but value for money wise definitely the lamb. In total the meal came to about $110 Bolivianos which is roughly £11, so cheap when you consider that in England the de-boned leg of lamb costs around £7 on its own, we also had a glass of very good Chilean Pinot Noir to go with the lamb. The meal was a success, I was very satisfied with it, good food, good wine and great company. After the meal we got the waiter to call us a cab but as there was six of us it was a bit of a pickle to get in, I rode in the boot of the car, it was an estate (station wagon) so there was plenty of space but I have now ridden in quite a few strange places.
