Sucre

P1030908

Working our way north in Bolivia we made a stop at sucre, which amazingly looks more like Florence than a town in the middle of Latin America. It's very pretty actually, we found a brilliant lookout point in the middle of town, where you can look over the sea of white washed houses and terracota rooves. The other main attraction of sucre is that you can ride the "dino truck" that takes you to a quarry where some of the clearest and longest dinosaur tracks in the world have been found (it's a unesco world heritage sight). They are pretty amazing, you can see where two dinosaurs have walked along side by side, and where one carnivore has been chasing a herbivore.

After this we splashed out and spent 13 quid on a fancy overnight bus to La Paz that had fully reclining arm chair type seats. Gotta love this country, the same bus would have cost 60 pounds in argentina!
