Sucre - food travelling and the false fifty

From Potosi we took a cab to Sucre - what a luxurious ride inbetween all the busses. But as it is just three hours ride it is normal to do it. Anyway we were three now as Christian (from Nuernberg) joined our route or the other way round. Sucre the capital of Bolivia is one of the richest cities, you can walk past huge colonial buildings and visit the historical museum of the liberation from spain. Bernd and Christian would add that there is no city where you bump into more pupils in their uniforms. On the first evening Bernd found a nice grill with a fantastic pique macho - meat with pepper, mayonaise and sauce - and the lomo-man which made egg and meat sandwiches for just 50 cent.
The next day was about food as well. After exploring the parks and and old streets we found our lunch next to the eiffel tower and ate some different kind of empanadas. Then we visited the dino park, a place where they found dino footprints while digging for cement. We are not sure about the authenticity as the footprints of very different dinos were going up and down a almost straight wall... but for now we believen in the story of the former lake being lifted by the movements of the earth. Anyway the mouning dino-statues in lifesize were fun!
Back in the city we found a very nice cafe directly at the plaza. The caramelcheescake and the submarino = piece of chocolate fallen into hot milk, were delicious.
Moreover we went to the huge market to get our breakfasts and the lunch the next day. Dragged by the offensive marketwoman we got so much food (soup and main dish) for less than an Euro that we could not even finish half of it. And no worries, we did not have problems with it.

But with the bus we encountered bigger problems. First we went to the terminal to get a ticket to Santa Cruz, as there is no recommendation for any line, we took the one that leaves late so we could walk around more. So we paid the bill and left as the woman yelled after us. She told us we wanted to give here false money. And as we were not sure about all our bills we could not counter her, went to the bank got some more money and gave her right bills. Christian tried to hand out the false bill to the dino park, but it was really bad quality so they got it immediately and we accepted the lost five euros, but were not sure who tricked us.
But the next day as we wanted to take our bus our ticket was changend and even if they tried to erase the new amount the tickets were 90 Bolivianos cheaper than the ones we bought. Now we were sure the woman from the bus tricked us with the bill as well. As that was yesterday we could not do anything, but we reported it to the police so they watch out for her and we told them the issue with the ticket as well. At least she had to repay us the ticket money. She blamed her son for getting the wrong ticket, but I think the police told her they would look at their agency closely.
