Bus to Sucre

28th 29th Jan
Another day another bus journey.
This time I decided to go for the posh version and got a "bus cama".
I reality this means more leg room and traveling with rich Bolivians.
You still have someone trying to sell you stuff shopping channel style.
Only this time its imitation silver jewlery intead of toothpaste.
You still get wailing children, punktures and stuck behind land slides.
The land slide took up most of the morning turning it into a 19 hour bus journey.
I used the opportunity to go for a bit of a walk somewhere where I probably wouldn`t otherwise had had the opportunity and the countryside was really nice.
Sucre seems like a really plesent city. Prosperous with beutiful architecture and a warmer and so far dryer climate than La Paz.
All of the buildings are white.
Today was a very quiet sunday in alot of the city and it was difficult to find a place to eat in the afternoon, quite a change from La Paz.
All the people were in the park observing the water bombing tradition that they have today.
A dangerous day to walk around the city.
