Tarambuco Market

21st of February

Arrived safe and sound in Sucre (the white city, supposedly) at 7 am and found our hostel very conveniently situated beside the bus station. That part was easy, however checking in was terrible as they didn't receive our booking, nor did they have a room that we booked. So off to a pretty bad start. But we were all upbeat, then showered, then ready to explore and go to the most colourful market in Bolivia. We catch the buses required and the journey takes us an hour and a half, but its a scenic drive. So the market is full of colours as promised, although a tad small with onl a handful of stalls. The four of us wnder around, pricing, haggling and taking pics of random people. The women are all dressed up in traditional Bolivian dress so thats a bonus. We kill an hour or two there and its time to head back. While waiting for the mini bus we witness many things like a bit of begging, some people being transported on the back of trucks, and just many many dogs running around. We finally catch a free bus to Sucre.

Loving the market



She doesn't just have that witch look, she's got the sour look aswell.
Sucking on a Lemon little lady??

What do you do when the driver is useless and making the tire
blow and go flat, oh yes, you take silly pictures!

The tire blew. Change the tire.
Minutes later the new tire went flat.
