Potosi, 21-23 Nov 2008
Just two and a half hours in a 'shared taxi' from Sucre to Potosi. Not a great selection of hotels so, after checking a couple of grotty looking options, opted for an 'upmarket' one (over twice the price of the Sucre hotel, but still under 40 Euros!).

I catch a bus from Zona Del Cementry to Copacabana for 2 pm getting to town around 6 pm. The cost is about 15Bs if you get it at the station. The ride is great. Try to seat in the left hand side of the bus for the great view …
