Today, I went to see some dinosaurs!

Or rather, what they left behind. In 1994, employees at a local cement quarry uncovered a vertical face bearing roughly 5000 footprints of 8 different species of dinosaur. This was the largest collection of dinosaur footprints uncovered anywhere in the world.

So obviously I had to check it out! In the end it was a bit disappointing. I got ripped off by a taxi driver on the way there (because I missed the tourist bus there because it left early) and the whole place was mostly a very crowded theme park. The footprints were quite impressive though, just the place was very crowded with middle class Bolivian tourists taking tacky instagram photos.

After that I headed back into the centre and a made a beeline for the KulturBerlin Sucre hostel, one of the city's main hostels. I felt like I'd done pretty much everything in Sucre, its the semi-final and England were playing so of course I was going to go watch it. It wasn't too crowded, which was good, and the played the match on a massive screen + got to meet some nice New Yorkers. Plus, the match was really, really good, despite England definitely not bringing it home anymore.

To cap off my time in Sucre, I headed up to a viewpoint - the bell tower of the San Roque church. The view was marvellous, if a little perilous, the roof was undergoing extensive maintenance work...

So that's it for Sucre! It's a very pleasant place. Pleasant is perhaps the best way to describe Sucre. The sprawling outskirts are very alike to La Paz, scruffy, bricky and full of broken up cars and communistical graffiti, but the interior is very, very plush. And white. In both senses of that word.

Sucre isn't exactly Bolivia's most incredible place but it is a very relaxing place to be. People are either here for 2 days like me, or for yonks, to break up long trans-continental gringo trails with spanish lessons and copious amounts of coca tea (which isn't really needed as Sucre is only 2.7km above sea level!).

Still, very, very excited to head to Potosi tomorrow.

Vamos!
