Sucre - Day 1

Friday 25th April

We had a good sleep-in this morning and didn´t get out of bed until 10am! Alter brekkie at a café on the main plaza (Plaza 24 De Mayo). It was 1200 by the time we had finished brekkie, and all the museums and a lot of the shops etc shut between 1200-1230 & 1400-1500, so we went and found an Internet café and update our blog and check emails etc.

We then decided to go and visit the central market, where you can buy pretty much anything under the sun – if you know where to go. The fruit and vege stalls were pretty cool, such a variety, but not a lot that we didn´t recognise - and so cheap. There is also a meat and fish market (minus any form of refrigeration), a household goods market, and a clothing market. We also wandered around the few Artesania shops that there are here (no where near as many as the other cities we have been in). Sucre is known for it´s yummy chocs, so of course we had to sample them. We bought 8 chocs for B/8 (NZ$1.25) - and they were sooooo good, but very rich.

We wandered around the city a bit more, and late afternoon headed back to to hostal for a rest before dinner. We went to a fab cafe for tea, called Biblio Cafe. I had the yummiest crepes with ice cream and choc sauce for dessert!
