Bombed in Sucre

Carnaval in Sucre means water - a lot of it! Waterbombs, squirt guns, water pistols... the die hard carnevalistas even use shaving foam to dive-bomb their victims. I got hit by 2 water bombs, which wasn´t too bad as bombing gringoes seemed to be an extra fun for the locals. But they didn´t count on Martin! ;-)

When some little boys threatened us with their water guns Martin overpowered one, got his gun and chased him all over the place. Exactly in that moment three Spanish girls walked by... one of them had accepted a drink from Martin the other night in the "Joyride Cafe" but was too arrogant to say hello when she met us in the market in the morning. Martin had been really disappointed by this behavariour and now had his chance to satisfy his thirst for revenge! He aimed and full throttle shot the water on her! She even was too arrogant to react and we couldn´t stop laughing! As it seems the Bolivians around us enjoyed it too!

Here is a picture of crazy Martin in full action! I really hope we´ll keep in touch and will meet again sometime somewhere - with Martin you can´t be bored, not for a second ;-)
