Sucre is the constitutional capital of Bolivia - seat of the Supreme Court. It´s around three three hours by bus from Potosi. We had to go to Sucre in order to fly to La Paz due to strikes which led to road blocks; glad we saw it now. Checked into Veracruz hostel and went for dinner to a place called El German. The food was good and it was dark by the time we were done. Michael and i headed off for a walk around the city. It´s very different to Potosi. People dress differently - less traditionally. All the teenagers converged in the main square that night which created a good atmosphere. We headed back to the Hostel which is up there as one of the worst we´ve stayed in in South America. We were told a blockade was due to start the next day and that Taxi drivers were joining the strike. So we booked a cab for 6.30am to ensure we got to the airport for our 11.30am flight. We spent the morning at the airport playing cards. Warning: The breakfast at Sucre Airport is not good.
