23/06/04- 25/06/04 Sucre

This is a really beautiful city as all the buildings in the town are painted white and it is also full of really interesting churches and museums. Whilst we were here we did quite a bit of sightseeing and in one of the museums we were given the history of South American liberation which was fascinating, until the guide started to take the mick out of the British Museum's habit of retaining other countries treasures. Also one of the church caretakers let us go up onto the roof so that we could see views over the whole of Sucre and even encouraged us to ring the bell whilst we were up there.

We also took a trip out to the Dinosaur park where they discovered footprints which was interesting but a bit scary as it is on a site that is still a working quarry so whilst we were wondering around the workers were busy blowing up the area.

Sucre- very nice. That thing that Fiona is up in is meant to be a copy of the Eiffel Tower- can I be honest and say that it didn't look even the slightest bit like the real thing?

All the buildings in Sucre should be painted white so they all blend in all that except the fine for not doing so is US$50 which means that if you really couldn't be bothered it was cheaper not to do it. Interesting? It was to me.
