Day 21 - Potosi to Sucre, Bolivia - 8 April 2012

Day 21 – Potosi to Sucre, Bolivia - 8 April 2012

The night before at dinner we had organised to travel with one of the guys we met on the 4x4 tour.  He had organised a taxi to take us to Sucre since we were all planning to travel there on the same day.  We met him at 11am and jumped into the taxi.  This cost us B150 (about NZ$25) for the three of us.  It was a journey about the same distance as Greymouth to Christchurch.
When we arrived in Sucre we checked into our hostel and then walked into the city for a look.  It is a nice city and generally the only places that were open were the markets, because it is Easter Sunday.

We then got back to the hostel and for the first time on our trip, it started raining! The weather certainly made up for the lack of rain as we had a thunder storm that went on for about half an hour.
We then went out for dinner with an Italian friend (Nico) we met on the 4x4 tour in South Bolivia.  It was a good night, we found a nice restaurant and had a good meal there.  Lucky to find a restaurant open though as it is Easter Sunday, as to be expected.  The only complaint I had about this place, and its not the restaurants fault, but you are allowed to smoke in bars/restaurants and now my clothes smell of smoke a wee bit.  Not nice, just makes you realise how good Aunty Helen's law she bought in a few years ago of no smoking in bars/restaurants etc is!!!
