Real Audiencia Sucre

... vodka, otherwise it could be a bit messy!<br><br>We also found a small bike shop (on Junin, between olaneta and Estudiantes) that had a pair of 26 inch, 32 hole rims (250 Bs), they're not Mavic but they're ok and hopefully will do us for the rest of the trip. All dave has to do now is fit the spokes, sounds simple but I don't think it is and it's certainly very time consuming, a job for tomorrow. <br><br>Every other day there ...

... sink. I thought to myself 'I can't stay here a week or 2', it was really grubby, half finished as a lot of Bolivian cities are and very down at heel. But like a lot of places, once you're in the historic centre (usually quite a small area) they are lovely, and Sucre didn't disappoint. <br><br>After much asking around we managed to find a little bicycle shop with a few flashy looking parts that had some 32 hole 26 inch rims, 250 Bs for 2. We have also signed ...

... 15 Bolivianos (1,5 Euro). Nach einer kurzen Siesta schauten wir uns noch die Stadt an und assen zu Abend. Danach gingen wir in eine kleine aber sehr stylische Bar und tranken einen Muchito. Dort unterhielten wir uns mit dem Barkeeper, welcher uns riet zu einem Rockkonzert zu gehen. Die Musik die dort gespielt wurde war sehr gut und vor allem der Schlagzeuger hatten es ziehmlich drauf. Das Konzert dauerte aber nicht mehr lange und so setzten wir uns nochmal in eine Bar. Es hat ...

Hola<br><br>What can I say about the night bus to Sucre!!!! We set off about 8.30pm from Cochabamba and stopped 10 minutes down the road for half an hour while the bus driver had his tea!!!! When we eventually set off again everyone settled down for the night including the Bolivian chap in front of me who decided it would be fun to put his chair back as far as possible and was virtually lying on my lap ...

... on a daily basis but host special events I think, and the teachers residence. Behind the buildings, inside the walls, are a chicken coop, a cooking space with an oven, and a spot where the teachers park their car.<br>There are two teachers, a couple, who teach. We were introduced to them, and two other women who only spoke Quechua, Lorenza and Maxina, and a bewildering conversation of Quechua mixed with Spanish followed. Toni and I observed in a bit of a ...

... niet door. Kyra en Johanna zijn naar een marktje gegaan. Dus ik heb mij vermaakt met internet, wat eten in ons favoriete restaurant en Bolivia zien winnen tegen Brasil. Er komen nog genoeg fietsdagen voor mij, dus je hoort mij niet treuren.<br><br>Sucre naar La Paz<br>Vannacht rijden we 12 uur met een slaapbus naar La Paz. Ik ben benieuwd wat zo'n grote stad met je doet. In ieder geval zitten we dan weer op grote hoogte, rond de 4.000 meter.

... Met 6 more of her friends there. Proceeded to go to local mart, grab 2 bottles of rum and pass around taking shots practicing my Spanish. Great people, so friendly and full of life. <br><br>Show was great. Wouldn't have been able to experience that many other places. <br><br>Next day the three of us went to go check out the Dinosaur tracks. Largest collection of tracks on earth, just discovered less than 20 years ago in side of mountain. <br><br><br><br>

... the town, Sucre has a beautiful town square which is dotted with white old colonial buildings, and guess what its another World Cultural Heritage site. We visited the house of freedom which dates back to 1621 and is the most important building in Bolivia. The republic of Bolivia was founded in this building by Simon Bolivar who wrote constitution. We have missed Simon and the numerous statues since Venezuela (he´s nowhere in Argentina ...

... I then went over the details with her, and this is when it became apparent she was an idiot. Firstly, she realised the bus in fact left at 6pm, and corrected the ticket accordingly. Cheers for that, I could have missed it. Secondly, she insisted the La Quiaca to Salta journey took eighteen hours. I told her this was ridiculous as I had checked it online and knew that it only took a maximum of eight. Did you mean the entire journey added together takes eighteen hours?, I suggested. She ...

Sucre is a small city with a rich colonial history. As evidence, many of the public spaces, buildings and churches remind me of that rich, colonial past. I came here for recovery time after the excursion into the Salar. Felix and I arrived and have done nothing more productive than walk to the city center to find some food or spend time talking with other travelers. Looks like Felix will stay here to study Spanish (his is already quite ...
