My week in 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...

Remeis estomacals

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...

Sick as a dog!

Well 3.5 months into the trip and I get sick. Fortionataly it only seems a 24 hour thing and I have just had 2 pancakes that seem to want to stay down so that's good!

The Mines in Potosi where really interesting. Lots of dust and very small gaps to climb into (you had to crawl quite a bit of the way!) Also cos it is over 4km high it's very difficult to breath. We did get to blow up some Dynamite though (Wicked!)..

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

Oh! Sucre...

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...

Day 3 & 4

... bus (cost = 25 centavos) we ended up getting off the bus too early. But it was no problem, we boarded the next bus in the same direction. We then transferred to a bus headed to the monument (cost = 15 centavos or cents). It was about an hour on this bus (almost all of it spent standing) to get to the monument.<br>The monument was very cool and Tamra and I got pictures stradling ¨the equator¨(the actual mitad del mundo is ...

... to Nazca to see the lines. We got to the bus station, sat on our bus for 80 minutes, got told it was cancelled, got tickets for another bus line which was packed (people were sitting in the isles), supposedly smelt like a mixture of urine, faeces, body odour and stale food.. thankfully I couldn't smell anything because of a cold so I had no problems. We eventually got to Nazca, nearly missing our stop. The bus stopped, people got off, the bus left.. then abruptly stopped again, the driver ...

... David was beginning to get his chefs ********** and both he and Darwin were getting quite sentimental with each new salsa song. Darwin talked about his passion for the environment and his project on the wolves of Ecuador. He lectures at a University in Quito when not teaching idiots like me Spanish. Darwin then advised he had called his girlfriend Maribelle over to meet me (he hadn&#8217;t had one before but this is a fascinating characteristic of Ecuadorians&#8230;will see if it ...

Quiet in Quito

... see how they were made. We could then buy one if we wanted for up to $300. Onward and upward we then traveled on to Baños which sits bellow a very active volcano and is famous for its thermal baths. Our first day we hired Quad bikes and spent the day cutting up the beautifully countryside around the volcano even driving through tunnels in the cliffs that were pitch black due to the lights on the quads not working. With lorries and cars ...

Mitad del Mundo: The Middle of the World

... over the Equator 85 times, this was our first venture back into the Northern Hemisphere in almost a month! Pululagua Crater is home to a village of indigenous people who, despite having no electricity, hospitals, irrigation, or transportation other than traveling on foot, miraculously live upwards of 90 years. The crater is 4 kilometers deep, and the only "road" leading to non-crater civilization is a winding dirt path that cannot ...
