Short stop in sunny Sucre

In Bolivia, it often makes most sense to take night busses since distances are big. So once again we sat on a night bus – from Samaipata to Sucre. This time, there was only semi-cama available and we had read pretty bad things about this ride – but were positively surprised! The road is almost fully paved by now, our bus driver was driving carefully in the corners and we got some ok sleep. We even arrived ahead of time! Tupiza Tours – hereby also recommended. Unfortunately, arriving early also meant that at some hostels, noone was opening the doors yet…So we spent over an hour walking around searching for an affordable place to stay. Sucre is a bit pricey in the center, but as always it did work out in the end!

The good news was that the sun was shining! And since we (sometimes) learn from our mistakes, we straight away went out sightseeing after a wake-up shower. Sucre most definitely is a very pretty city with whitewashed buildings, cute plazas and a nice viewpoint at La Recoleta. It was a bit of an exhausting climb up but very much worth it!

After that, we spent some more time walking through the picturesque streets and exploring some markets – but to be honest…after half a day, we had seen it. People seem to stay in Sucre for really long, but even though we found it a beautiful city, there just wasn’t enough to do and see for us.

So after a night at KulturCafe Berlin, a really cool hostel-bar, and some sleep, we hopped on a bus to Potosí. Anyways, it had started to rain again, so it was good to keep the sunny memories of the day before and get going!
