This is just a fill in entry really to let you all know how stupid we can be sometimes.....We left Santa Cruz for Samaipata, feeling very pleased with ourselves for having found the taxi company and filling the taxi so we left as soon as we were ready....then half way to Samaipata realised we only had about 160 Bolivianos on us...about $25...oh well we thought, there must be an ATM there....no such luck. We booked into a hostel and set about finding a tour company who could take us to the jungle in the area, if we could do it we were going to go back to SC to get cash out. į
We talked to a very nice travel agent ( all in spanish! ) who said we could go with them for 2 days, and they would book us a bus to Sucre as well, and we could pay them by putting money in their bank in Sucre! (Amboro tours) Awesome. What an amazing thing to do. The only catch was...we wouldnīt go if it was raining. So we ate the cheapest standard meal we could find (funnily enough it involved chicken and rice and soup.... mmmmm) and went to bed early.
And guess what...it was raining the next day. as we didnīt have enough money left to pay for another nights accomodation, let alone food, so we hotfooted it back to Santa Cruz, and then got the night bus to Sucre. No more Jungle for us.....until Brasil maybe...
