Potosi

When we arrived in Potosi, we decided to walk to the city center by foot, which turned out to be an one hour walk. Near the center we found a hostel that, for the first time in Bolivia, had a kitchen. We had planned to do a tour of the silver mines there, but it turned out that it was the first days of carneval and after that it would be Sunday so there would be no miners. So we skipped the tour.

We got some new trousers for Max to replace the ones he forgot in the mountains and walked around the city a lot, looking at churches and government buildings. One time we visited the cathedral, which is only opened for special events and tours since it would otherwise break down. From the top of the Bell tower we could see the whole city and the surrounding mountains. On the last evening we went out with a group of french people to drink some beers.

Two of the french girls had the  same plan as us to go to Uyuni the next day and take a desert tour, so we decided to share a taxi and get on the same bus.
