Bolivia - Sucre

18-09-2011

Today was mainly a drive day.

A bus to Potosi, stark landscape along the way, rocks and dust. I cannot seem to keep the dust off my clothes. Our clean looking backpacks are now old and dirty looking. The bus played loud Spanish music for all the five hours, some of it was really bad. At one point of time when we were trying to sleep, we woke up to one man shouting during the song, the two of just started laughing.

From Potosi, the mining town, to Sucre, the capital of Bolivia we went in a shared taxi. The road was the best we have seen in Bolivia but I could not understand the dogs that seemed to be guarding the road, one nearly every 50 meters.

Did not realize the hotel we booked is also part of a backpackers hostel, had to ask people to keep it down as they sat outside our door and talked late into the night.
