Sucre

Our first day in Sucre was pretty quiet. We walked around the city alot. It is pretty small and easy to navigate, but beautiful! I believe it´s a UNESCO site. They have to white wash the buildings once a year. It is very clean and well preserved, nothing like the rest of Bolivia. The market was very clean and smells wonderful, not something I can say for the other places we have been.

Yesterday, we went to Trarabuco. It´s a town nearby which has a sunday market aimed at tourist which has a lot of handcrafts. Perfect place for buying presents. My bag is now much much heavier. We spent the afternoon walking around Sucre and went to see Legion last night. A step up from the last movie we saw, but still not very good.

Today we checked out of our hostel and are waiting a few hours until we take the bus to Potosi. It´s a short ride. Our guide book says three hours, best to estimate four. But much much shorted than the ones we have been doing recently. We are moving through Bolivia quicker than we had originally hoped, but maybe Potosi will be someplace we will want to stay for several days.

We don´t want to spend too long in Chile. Our guide book says to budget $50 a day. I think it exagerates a bit, but we might as well start transitioning back to normal prices for NZ and Aus.
