Bolivian market diversity

Having taken care of the luggage in the storage room, we march to the Bus station. As elsewhere, there is a slight chaos here too. Countless salespeople advertise their company's next connections. We buy from one of the numerous providers Tickets for the night trip to Trinidad.

Then we spontaneously decide to take a taxi to the Mercado Los Pozos to drive. Here, not far from the center, Santa Cruz comes across a bit more Bolivian. We stroll through a wide variety of market stalls and buildings. Whether jewelry, clothing, food, cosmetics. Yes, even electronics are offered for sale here. On the top floor is the food court, where we dine with an immigrant Chinese woman. For the equivalent of two francs each there is a delicious plate of vegetables, chicken and rice.

Explore strengthened like others Streets full of shops and people. Niki buys one of the delicious cheese rolls and freshly cut pineapple, while I can't miss my beloved passion fruit.

We walk towards the plaza, where we make a coffee stop. It's late afternoon and we're going back to the hostel by taxi. There we relax a bit and use the internet. After a yoghurt cup with fruits and nuts, we quickly jump into the soothing shower. Around 8 p.m. that Taxi to the bus station to call.

Here in the evening there is even greater chaos. We can hand over the luggage against tickets at the check-in and then have to pay the terminal fee. Numerous rebellious Indian families with their begging children take you by the arm again and again. A real nuisance, but that's also part of it here. There it says stay strongAfter all, you can't give something to everyone.

At the gate we see our backpacks in one modern double-decker bus be loaded. Soon we can get on and are pleasantly surprised by the comfortable seats. Numerous sellers now also flock to the bus to advertise their goods. Then the 9-hour night drive to Trinidad. It doesn't take long before one of the usual blockbusters begins.
