Days 200 & 201 - Friday 7th & Saurday 8th April 2006

Friday wasn’t one of the most eventful days of the trip, about the only thing I did until late afternoon was send a parcel back to England. Mind you, that whole process did take the whole afternoon to accomplish.

To send a parcel of 5kgs back to England i had to go to three different offices - Customs, the Drug Squad, and of course the post office. This involved taking three taxis to the opposite ends of town as the offices of all three are very conveniently located in totally different areas to each other. Then it involved sitting watching a lady fill out 20 forms in the post office. Eventually I got it sent, and we all took a colectivo taxi to the town of Sucre, a few hours away.

We hit the town and I ended up in some random club until 5am.

Saturday was another quiet one as I couldn’t be bothered to move - I was in the most comfortable bed I had slept in since I left home! When I did manage to get up I watched some films before getting reay to go out again. The six of us had decided to do something a little different and we donned the togas that we had bought the day previous in Potosi - red & white for the English, blue & yellow for the Swedes! It took a fair while but we managed to put them on so they weren’t going to fall off and we headed for town.

Overall we got a decent reaction, whenever we walked into a bar everything stopped and people just stared at six white boys dressed in togas. We went to bout three different bars before heading to a club where we had a good night and ended up back at the hostel at some ridiculous hour.
