Hey guys,

sorry, since I’m a bit in a hurry, I can’t describe everything I saw and experienced during my last few days. Therefore I just give you some key word and a couple of photos which illustrate everything better than I could do it with a text, anyway!!!

Sucre:

white
colonial architecture
grito de libertad de las americas
ukurpiña 2
bolivia’s true capital
cold nights
racism is to be put into the garbage bins

Potosí:

cold days
bitterly cold nights
8 million (!) dead slaves during 300 years of silver mining
amazing and horrifying visit to the mines
soroche 2.0
one of the heighest cities of the world
without coca you cannot survive the mines
even with coca you’ll do it only 15 years until death or serious lung injury
goodbye travel company
