Howdy dudes, am finally getting up to date with the blog so that's good. Need to get a few more pics up then I´m there, but unfortunately the computers out here aren´t too speedy!!We are currently in the beautiful city of Sucre.It´s about 2 hours from Potosi, and we actually got a taxi here.We shared it with 2 Bolivian women, but paid about 2 pounds each for a 2 hours taxi journey.Not bad really!Sucre is stunning, and is fairly set up for the tourists now, with some brilliant restaurants and loads of Spanish courses.Again, there are stunning churches on every corner, and although the people dress much more western here, there are still a lot in the traditional clothing.We spent an amazing day yesterday out on the racing motorbikes.The ones that race through dirt tracks and have really good suspension.I couldn´t ride the bike as I had only ever ridden scooters before, so I got the trip for a 5th of the price and got the sit on the back of the instructor´s bike.As usual in Bolivia, we were riding along narrow dirt roads, with deadly drops either side, so I was pretty nervous.The view was outstanding though.We visited the very dry seven waterfalls, and rode through loads of tiny traditional villages, which each had about 8 houses.There were donkeys, goats and sheep around every corner, and the people all working in the fields.The mountains were amazing, with quite big streams where women and children were bathing and washing their clothes.Apart from the pain at the end, of a very sore bum and legs from holding on so tight, one the best things I have done here for sure.A definite must for anyone going to Sucre!Tonight we take the 13 hours overnight bus journey to La Paz.We are spending 2 nights in the party hostel there, then heading into the jungle for a few days.I have already started to get the tricky Bolivian belly, so not looking forward to that getting worse in Bolivia.No muggings so far (we seem to be the only ones), so please all keep your fingers crossed for us there!
