Day 292 Dinosaurs in Sucre 23 November 2012

Today we walked around town a bit more, had an excellent lunch at a restaurant affiliated with the Alliance Française, and then took the Dinobus to Parque Cretacico, where 800 dinosaur footprints were discovered about 25 years ago, by workers of a cement factory. The factory responsibly set up a viewing platform and museum. Scientists explain that the ‘wall’ used to border a lake before seismic activity and that the change between wet and dry seasons preserved the footprints in the limestone.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the evening we took the night bus to La Paz, our first with a fully reclining seat. Also the baggage loading was special, it was dropped down by rope from the bus company office one floor above.
