Our first day in Sucre was mainly spent exploring the city and getting used to where everything was located. As we are spending around 5 days here, this allows us the time to do this. After breakfast in the hostel, we headed into the main plaza which was about 5 blocks away. One thing about South America is that the main cities always have a good main plaza!! We looked around and managed to see a marching band who were performing in the square. Beth went cra...

Today we made our way from Uyuni to Sucre in what turned out to be our most eventful journey yet and which makes ham and cheese sandwichgate look trivial. Our guide from the salt flats tour had kindly helped us book our bus yesterday. So we were hoping that this would go in our favour and we would have a relatively simple journey. Oh how wrong we were. Our first bus left Uyuni at 8am and was headed to Potosi. For some reason you can't get a direct bus straight ...

Today has been our final day on the salt flat tour. The day started with waking up at 5am so that we could see the sunrise over the salt flats. I say 5am but it was really 4.30am given that a jeep from another tour decided to switch his engine on outside our window at that time and start playing some music. A lesson learned was that salt hotels do not have double glazing!! After prising our eyes open, we headed off onto the salt flats to watch the sun rise. ...

Our third day on the salt flat tour was another early start at 6.30am and we left our accommodation at 7.30am for another full day of sightseeing. We slept quite well in the homestay accommodation even though it was quite cold through the night. I think the 3 blankets we had each helped. Our first stop was to see the Black Lake and the surrounding rock formations which were again spectacular. We cloned some of these rock formations which overlooked the black ...

The second day of the Salt Flats your has been equally as interesting as the first. It's been a long day with us setting off at about 7.30am and arriving in our accommodation for the night at 6pm. We must have travelled a significant distance along mostly dusty and rocky roads but it was worth it for some of the sights we have seen. Suprisingly, we all had a pretty good sleep in our accommodation as the blankets provided kept us warm against the freezing cond...
