We arrived in sucre early from our night bus. The weather was grey and was a bit touch and go. Not knowing where our hostel was we got a taxi which it turned out the taxi didn't know where our hostel was either. Our voices raised along with the meter and when we got into the town centre we decided to get out, politely thanks him for his services and walk the rest of the way. We found it within about 10 minutes and arrived at essentially a big house. Walked in and...

The beds in Loki hostel are possible the comfortablist we've had in south America. The widest too so a lay in was inevitable. When we finally do get out of bed we go downstairs to find out breakfast is awful, nothing more than a stale bread roll. During the day we don't really do much apart from watch some football and wait mooch around town. It's all about the evening at loki's 5 anniversary party. The day drags waiting for the party but we get thru it and the e...

So we wake up relatively early and do the standard walk about and explore mission that we usually do in every new city. By this time thru the trip I'm pretty much done with taking pictures of churches and nice buildings so the exploring doesn't last long. La Paz is a pretty gritty city, which suits us down as it's cheap, plus for the first time it feels like real South America. The altitude is still affecting me and a 10 minute walk feels like a 10km jog. The add...

So we wake up and mooch around in the pool and town during the day. Not really impressed with Santa Cruz we're looking forward to getting to La Paz. With our bus at 6 we leave at 5.15 and arrive with plenty of time. When we get there the guy that sold us the tickets is there and takes us over to another bus company. He buys a ticket from them at 120 bolivianos, making 30 off of each of us. I wasn't aware at the time we were sub contracting out bus tickets out but...

We touch down in Santa Cruz, Bolivia after a very smooth and easy flight, didn't get much sleep but I'm not too tired as it's only about 2am on the Friday. We both steam thru the immigration and collect our bags fairly quickly. The customs is an absolute joke, might aswell have high fived us an told us to enjoy Bolivia! We pass thru get some money from the ATM and after hearing all the horror stories about dodgy taxis, go get a taxi from a registered taxi company...
