SUCRE
urse!!

By this time we’d had enough and decided to just go and wait for our bus. We were quite alarmed to find that our rucksacks, and everyone else’s luggage being lowered from the office on the upper floor to the bus on the ground with some kind of rope and hook hoisting system!! Still, whatever works, and it was better than some poor guy having to carry it all!! When we finally boarded the bus though we were dismayed to find that it was another aging model with not much luxury involved. In fact our seats were part of a three seat affair, with me being squashed up against an elderly Bolivian chap, who although was very friendly, didn’t seem to have much grasp of where his bit of the seat ended and mine began!!

Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep and was quite relieved when the bus finally pulled into Tupiza at 3.45 am!! Now all
we had to do was find our hostel and hope someone was there!!
