Amigo Hostel Sucre

OK this is way overdue, but ages ago I spent a week in Sucre to learn Spanish and to explore what is supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in South America.

The week started out well as on the bus I met a group of Bolivian Tourism students who were returning from a trip around South America to study tourism (their university paid for the trip which made me realize that maybe I should have majored in Tourism). Anyway they shared a little of their bottle of whiskey with me to h...

Vaig sortir d'Uyuni a les 19:00, recordava les 8 hores de pedres al cul, fotut dins una espècie de furgoneta amb vells i ressecs amortidors cansats de carregar bestiar bolivià a lo bèstia i alguna culleradeta de gringos que no saben on es foten. Recordava el desodorant que batejava l'olor corporal del dosmetres francès amb esquena d'armari que tenia al costat i amb el que ens barallavem silenciosament, mig adormits, per un espai inexistent on intentar trobar una gra de comoditat igualment ine...

So in Sucra managed to get in a bike ride that included an 18km d...

12/11/2008 (WED) I woke up with soared muscles on my legs and because of this; I tried avoiding stairs as much as possible. After breakfast, I went to the post office to send off some postcards. Then I bought my bus ticket to Sucre from the hostel reception. There must have been about 20 of us staying in the hostel traveling to Sucre in the same bus. Fabian and I managed to get some take away lunch, Picante Pollo, before boarding the bus. Upon arrival in Sucre, we went to Hostel Amigo. After ...

Bueno, supongo que ya no es ningún secreto eso de que Sandra anda por España... y que yo me he quedado paseando por aquí, tan agustito. De la Paz, y tras unos días apacibles y maravillosos en las Yungas (gracias, Miguel y compañía, por la recomendación) me he bajado al sur, que no por eso es cálido. Sucre es, como me habían contado, una bonita y tranquila ciudad colonial, donde he pasado un par de días tranquilitos y sin más compañía que mi libro peruano y mi música. En fin, a veces una no ti...
