Sucre

We took a nightbus from the inofficial to the official capital of Bolivia: Sucre. But as exciting as we found la Paz, as boring was Sucre to us. Nevertheless, it is a very pretty, very clean and very white city, with its city center having a very colonial architecture and which has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site. If you ask Google for things to in Sucre, it gives you a couple of museums and a couple of historical buildings that you can look at - but that’s about it. We were not really in the mood for museums and having a food-and-drinks day was sadly still not an option for Alina(s stomach), and after a failed attempt to relieve our backpacks from a few souvenirs we’ve brought from la Paz by sending a package home (never trust Google on their reporting of opening times), we were basically done with the city. Funnily, looking around the main plaza of Sucre, we got the feeling that we were not the only tourists feeling somewhat lost in the quietness and lack of to-dos in Sucre 😉. But we have to admit that as we arrived very very early on a saturday morning, it may just have been the wrong time and day for us to be in Sucre. Still, we decided to skip ‘Sucre on a peaceful sunday’ and take a day ride to Potosi and from Potosi to Uyuni where the real adventure awaited us: the long-longed-for Salar de Uyuni!Leggi altro
