Bye bye salt flats, hello batteries
... was awesome of either the clouds or the distant mountains and volcanoes. I havn´t seen these photos in big size as I only see the thumb nails when I upload them but I assume there is a skyline somewhere. Anyhow later in the day we found dry areas where we could lie down and prat about trying to do funny stupid photos which everyone the world over who has been to the salt flats have already done.

... altitude 3200m). Everything is made of salt! We enjoyed having a hot shower (even though only one shower for about 30 people) and even had our own room. I enjoyed Vicuña meat for dinner (looks like a llama but less hairy) whilst Ish loaded up on the carbs!
The following day started stupidly early at 3:30am to see the sunrise over the Bolivian salt flats (which some were more keen to do than others… we lost to a majority vote!) The Uyuni salt flats are 4000sq miles ...
