... Fisherman Island. This was a large island in the middle of the salt flats which was shaped like a fish and covered in cactus's. We walked up and around the Island where there were some great views across the salt flats before arriving back at our jeep for breakfast.

... That was pretty cool and I could cross another item from my 'to do' list (Floating in salt water). The rest of the day we went for a swim in some craters and visited a small salt lake. And guess what.....we finished the day with a delicious BBQ! The moring before we did the tour I woke up early to sort out my tour to Bolivia.
