It was quite nice in sucre, although there wasn’t all that much to see so I basically spent the time in our hotel room watching FTV (which is captivating even if you cant understand Spanish). I also had to help adam out as our hed used up all the bandwidth for his new site and it was taken down, which was a real pain. Anyway time came for us to leave, we were to fly by plane to santa cruz , but there were protests at the airport, and as usual the first people they would attack would be tourists, so we delayed the flight until everything was ok. We were hanging around the hotel watching FTV when suddenly all these hot girls started walking up and down outside our room, they were preparing for a modeling gig at the hotel…. What a bonus. Anyway we got the OK for the flight to santa cruz and off we went. We arrived in santa cruz late in the afternnon and caught a small bus to the city via a back dirt road so as to avoid the protesters. We made it to our hotel safe and sound, santa cruz , from what I saw of it, seemed like a pretty kewl town, although we weren’t there long enough to have a good look around. We all went out for dinner at a nice little restaurant and from there we went to a little salsa bar which was great fun, especially as I had had enough courage drinks to bust a move or two on the dance floor. Suddenly this African guy came out with some rhythm sticks and everyone lined up behind him and for about 6 songs we all followed his moves, it was awesome. After that some crazy stuff happened and I decided it was time to go home. The next morning we caught a plane to the pantanal, supposedly the most rich ecosystem in south America, even more than the amazon. Before we went to the pantanal we stopped at a little place on the border of Bolivia and Brazil and stayed in a nice little 5 star hotel, which was great with nice big king size beds, unfortunately there was also a hell of a lot of mosquitos, damn pesky things!!!!
