After the wild taxi ride from Potosi..we found a nice hotel with one English channel on tv and ventured out to the travellers favorite called the Joy Ride Cafe. A Dutch-run hangout with huge portions, good service and varied menu kept us happy like Jack´s Cafe in Cusco too many weeks before to remember..so it seems as every day and another new adventure passes by.
Sunday in Sucre was very quiet. Not a thing open. Actually quite a nice way to walk around and see why it is called -The Athens of the Americas-. White washed buildings and red tiled roofs. We sampled the locally made chocolate from Para Ti which was pretty good.
We enquired about a quick 40 minute flight up to Santa Cruz or the 17 hour bus ride, but cost became the issue and we booked our seats and headed off late in the afternoon. The first 9 hours were another hellish washboard journey on switchback roads following every other bus on the same route. Finally, the sun came up and we hit the massive bus terminal in Santa Cruz.
