We had a slightly panicked journey to the airport in La Paz-- we couldn't find a taxi anywhere and thought we'd miss our flight. But, nonetheless we arrived in Sucre around 12:30 after our flight was delayed about 30 minutes.
First we checked in at our hostal, and then we began our exploration of the city. We had a delicious lunch at a vegetarian restaurant and then hiked up to "La Recoleta" which gave us a fantastic view of the whole city. Then we went to a costume museum which displayed intricate Victorian outfits in a colonial house-- it was very interesting. Next we walked down a few unique streets, enjoyed the main plaza and had ice cream! We also visited "La Casa de Libertad" which was a museum with a variety of displays from contemporary art to swords to flags. We also explored a massive market that had anything you could possibly want. Sucre is a beautiful city and we wish we could have stayed longer!
This morning we got on a bus to Uyuni, unfortunately it left late. About 3 hours into the ride, we were further delayed because the driver got lost for about 2 hours (which was very frustrating). So we arrived in Uyuni around 7:30 pm after about 9 hours on the bus.
Tomorrow we begin our 3 day salt flats tour, there probably won't be internet so I will post again when we arrive in Chile!
