Have been away from internet access for a while, so lots to catch up on here! I´ll try to stick to the highlights.
Santa Cruz was very ´civilized´compared to everywhere else we´d been. Lots of proper shops and nice places to eat, and a real city feel to it. We didn´t have long there and it was v hot, so we didn´t overstretch ourselves. Had a couple of nice meals and just ambled around taking in the culture.
There weas a demonstration going on that added some spice to the afternoon. Lots of people shouting and letting off firecrackers, loudhailers, banners, etc. But all the locals were just taking it in their stride - I think it´s a fairly common occurence in Santa Cruz.
Early evening we made our way to the train station for our (upgraded) overnight train to the Brazil border. Just two very luxurious carriages. Huge comfy reclining seats with leg rests, and dinner served at our seats. Movies (in Spanish!). Got a decent sleep, which I wasn´t expecting!
