After the rigor of the altiplano, we arrive at Sugar , the constitutional capital of the country and the symbolic heart of the nation (it was there that declare the independence of Bolivia). Beautiful city with colonial architecture, beautiful set of white buildings ... It's nickname is " the White City. " Sugar, nestled in a valley, is only 2,700 meters (!): There is a certain sweetness of life. It's hot, no need to heat the night to withstand freezing temperatures. And for the first time since the beginning of the trip, we offered a short stay at the hotel ... and it's not unpleasant. Anthony still finds way to be sick for one of the few times of travel.
We're now four days in this beautiful city, where the atmosphere looks more like Spain than Bolivia. We enjoy the " almuerzos " breakfast menu for just 1 Euro, we visit the beautiful Museum of Art with the exhibition of textile weaving local cultures Jalq'a and Tarabuco (surrounding areas), we stroll in the Mercado Central and the beautiful place 25 de Mayo ... well, four days at a very "tranquilo . the road again towards Cochabamba. This road, which turns out to be rather a track passes through beautiful valleys, 
s landscapes have really nothing to do with the Altiplano ... On the road, we do not come across many cars there are in fact very few cars in Bolivia, inaccessible from the standard of living. There are essentially trucks carrying goods and Bolivians, the "truck bus.
We sleep on the very nice places in the colonial architecture of villages and Totoro Tarata where the camper is widely noticed some mobs causing more or less sympathetic villagers ...

Not Enough went to market Tarabuco , we go to that Punata . Very few tourists, the market is exclusively for the premises. Here, we sell everything and everywhere: pigs, donkeys, cows alongside vendors of fruit and vegetables, cola, clothes, shoes ...
tires Very far from Europe in the heart of Bolivia, this step was exotic and pleasant.
For our last camp before joining
La Paz, we sleep as often in a small village. We are moving slowly on a median strip which appears flat (the forklift drivers include camping) and quiet and who finally reveals be the courtyard of a boarding school for children in the area ... here we are quickly surrounded by the 70 residents who all eventually go up to visit the site because .... and showering, from what we understand they had never seen.
They make us visit their school, their bedroom, we kindly offer to drink and breakfast the next day. A beautiful meeting before returning to La Paz and its tumult.
