After spending one night in a hotel with a bed that had two legs made of cheap steal welded together, no towels, hot water or toilet paper and a hole under the door 3 inches thick we decided to go searching for a better choice!
We did infact find the best place we have stayed so far, Wasi Masi, a cute little family run hostel, with its own kitchen and a clean friendly dog ´Baloo´like the jungle book) and a courtyard to sit out relax and enjoy in the sun.
Amongst our relaxing we also spent a morning horse riding behind Sucre´. No tumbles, but very sore bottoms, we even got to have a gallop and we successfully stayed ontop of the horses. Sams horse ´Benjamin´was boistrous and my little mare we find out after riding for 3 hours she is preggas! Poor thing carrying extra weight through the rocky mountains of Sucre.
We found the best icecream so far and will be going back for one last rendeouves before our 12 hour bus trip back to LaPaz.
We also discovered a two for one cake deal, where for $3 you got two humongous pieces of cake
that we struggled to finish off both times we went there! But so so good!
We also got to do all our washing, for 9bs a kilo, so about 1.50aud, first time since leaving we both have a full set of clean clothes!
We checked out some suss dinosaur footprints in limestone cliffs from millions of years ago, with our over enthusiastic guide telling us about all the different kinds of dinosaurs.
Probably the highlight of Sucre´is the market, and the supermarket where we have been able to have Cereal, cornflakes, fruit, peanut butter on toast for breakfasts, all for the first time since leaving Australia!! It definately made it easy to stay in Sucre for 5 days!
Now we are back in LaPaz after surving another 12hour bus trip. It actually wasnt too bad of a trip, which is kinda scary to think that we are getting used to these epic trips!!
