Santa Cruz

Sometimes you get a bit travel weary on the road and need to take a break. A vacation from the vacation. We choose Santa Cruz as our holiday destination. There is no real sightseeing to be done, no interesting museums but it is Bolivia's largest and richest city with plenty of restaurants, cafés and shops. We found a lovely hostel with hammocks to relax in, green patios and two funny tucans to rest our eyes on.



What else could a girl need?



Beautiful tucan



Even tucans get a bit shy sometimes...


Yarden is raving about how good it is to be back in civilisation and is calculating how much money we'll need to be able to retire here. I'm focusing on what kind of food we'll have for the next meal. The first night we had an amazing steak dinner, second night pizza.I believe we are ready for another meaty dinner tonight. And in between meals, it is actually possible to get a decent cup of coffee here. Santa Cruz are scoring high points from the Cohens!




Modern city, modern art

Saskia: It is a great time indeed! The animal is a sloth (sengangare in swedsih), I have never seen that before but it was a funny animal.

Alexia: I'm trying out a new career, I planning on becoming a travel reporter. Or, I will just continue with the same old pricing slavery as before... It's a tight race between them at the moment!
