We didn't have much time to spend in Potosi, so that night, off we went, three hours north to Sucre. We were too late to take the bus though so we began our 'flash-packing' and took a taxi. For a three hour drive it put us back a whole $15.
Sucre is the official capital of Bolivia and the 'White City', so called because all of the buildings in the old town must be painted white. And it really is beautiful.
Our favourite thing to do here was visit the fruit stalls at the market everyday. Here the ladies would chop up any kind of fruit and you could get a gorgeous fruit salad or fruit smoothie for 40p. Happy days.
After a few lazy days, it was time to head to dizzying La Paz. There were blockades happening all over Bolivia though so the only way to get there was an overnight bus to Cochabamba and then to fly, more flash-packing.
