As soon as we arrived in Sucre it felt different to all other Bolivian towns we'd been too. Most Bolivian towns are dusty, desolate places with an air of desperation, but Sucre actually felt sophisticated - almost European. All buildings are whitewashed and must be repainted every year. This maintains the towns clean, elegant appearance. We headed to the main plaza and got sweetly harassed by a young shoe-shine boy of about 8 and a girl of about the same age selling sweets. It's always a shame to see these young kids on the streets "working". The lad was very clever, speaking English and French. We gave them crisps instead of cash, as giving them money will only encourage them to continue their work rather than attend school.

We made a trip to the new Park Cretácico. Here we were able to see hundreds of dinosaur footprints - the largest collection in the world. Bizarrely, the site is still used as quarry. The workers uncovered the find while clearing a massive mud wall. As we peered at the huge footprints (some were a couple of meters wide) we imagined the dinosaurs walking past us 65 millions years before.

Also on our "to-do list" was a visit to the textile museum. The local people produce the most amazing weavings, all painstakingly created by hand over several months. We were able to see the distinctive works up close, as a traditional woman demonstrated the intricate technique she uses to create her art.

When it came to eating, the best bargains were found at the local market. Here we enjoyed a meal of Chorizo sausage with rice and salad, all for just £1 ... washed down with a fresh strawberry juice for 27p! While wondering around town we also came across the "best chocolate shop in Bolivia". The shop was posh - more Bond Street than Bolivia, but the chocolate lived up to it reputation ... delicious!
