Yesterday before and AFTER catching up on sleep from another overnight 12 hour bus we walked around and explored a bit. We are staying at a hostel called La Dolce Vita and it sure does feel like the sweet life here. The wonderful woman owner gave us an elaborate overview of the city and what to see and do. This started with breakfast. Finally, found delicious coffee again and had a delicious breakfast in a cafe called Florin Cafe. It was just what we needed to start our sleep deprived groggy day. We booked our bus tickets to Uyuni where we will see the salt flats and continue traveling south to Chile. After our nap in our modern and local decorated room, we walked (30 min, and uphill) to the Mirador which is the look out point over the city of Sucre. This lookout point had a Mirador Cafe too and we ordered some sweets and coffee. I was trying to read "pie del chef" and pronounced pie wrong and asked for a chef´s foot. Good Job.
Since I still haven't replaced the shoes I lost... we went to a common shoe store called Bata and when I asked a store worker if she had a specific shoe in size 9 or 10 she laughed. She laughed and said the biggest size they have for women is the equivalent to 7.
I was told Bolivia would have bigger shoe sizes than Peru because of the height differences. Better luck next country?
So today we plan to visit this Dinosaur site. Apparently, Sucre has one of the highest concentration of existing dinosaur tracks. We are supposed to wait at a street corner and at any given 30 minute interval we will be picked up by a vehicle that is in the shape of a dinosaur. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out but we were told you stand 200 ft away from the tracks so as not to disturb the footprints and tracks ...But, to make the area exciting they have tons of large 3D dinosaurs. Can't wait!
it was a success!!
fun dino fun
