Santa Cruz and a famous football team

Well, well, well.

As we were in the airport to fly from Sucre to Santa Cruz, who should be in the airport and ON OUR FLIGHT but the whole football team of Real Potosi??? Some of the group had been to see them play in Potosi against the Brazilian team Flamengo (who have this player called Ronadldinho........!) Real Potosi won, and when we saw them, were travelling slowly on their way to Rio to play them again.

It was all very exciting. It was like the Arsenal team being with you on a plane! As an aside I´ll mention that only a few of them were good-looking. But those who were.....wow!

Anyway, as we were checking into our hotel in Santa Cruz, who should turn up in the lobby? Yes. The WHOLE TEAM were staying in our hotel! Imagine, lots of footballers hanging around the corridors topless. It was difficult, but someone had to do it. You know, these things are sent to try us, but I pulled through!

I don´t really have much to say about Santa Cruz, to be honest. It had a nice central plaza, but as far as I could see, there wasn´t any pizzazz that I felt in one way or another in other Bolivian cities. We more or less used Santa Cruz as a hop-off for our next journey into Brazil...
