La Paz - Cochabamba - Sucre

We found a new hostel in La Paz, and enjoyed our few days there walking around the city, looking at the markets, and even seeing a movie - the clash of the titans (not good at all). After a few days we took a bus to Cochabamba, a university town east of La Paz. We spent two nights there, and met up with a Swedish girl we spent some time with in Ecuador. At first we thought it was really nice, then when we started to walk around the city it didn´t seem that way. There wasn´t much in the way of restaurants or shops. Apparently the outskirts of the city are much nicer and where most of the students live.

Last night we took a night bus to Sucre. It was a long bumpy journey with quite a scary driver and funny sounding mechanisms. We were told there were toilets, but I discovered they were locked two hours into the journey, with another eight to go.

We checked into a hostel accross from the market in the centre of the city and went in search of breakfast. After finding a not so good place we went off to look around the market, which is lovely. We got a pastry and some hot chocolate and will probably go and look around some more this afternoon!

Wow that's a long time to have to wait to go P. Maybe you have to ask the bus driver for the key? Too late now but a thought for the future if that ever happens again; hopefully not!

Glad you found a better place. Take Care.
