Sucre, Bolivia

The road from Potosi to Sucre was much better than the one from Uyuni to Sucre. But as we did not know what was expecting us and after the terrible experience from the day before, we decided to take a taxi colectivo, which is a shared taxi (4 people) that works similar to a bus, just a bit more expensive with some additional confort.
Well, but of course our taxi would have brake problems on the day to sucre, which forced us to stop at least twice to cool down the brakes by throwing water at them. Slowly but safe, like a turtle. At least the landscape was magnific.


Sucre itself is a very charming old town, with an architecture style dating from colonial times. Sucre was once the capital of Bolivia and has kept a "nobel air" with beautiful streets, old buildings and markets.

The people there was exceptionaly nice, being by far the nicest Bolivians and probably one of the nicest people from the cities I visited.

But as we were rushing to make to La Paz for Saturday night, we just stayed there for a a day and half. Night bus to La Paz where the party was waiting for us!
