The bus trip into Bolivia from Argentina
 |
| Starting the climb from Villazon to 2900m altitude in Tupiza |
 |
| In Tupiza - my friend Belinda with our first Bolivian ice creams! |
 |
| Traditional Bolivian women - they're all dressed like this and they all have braids! |
 |
| Random town with the worst public toilet ever! I think it was a permanent long drop! |
 |
| Starting the climb from Tupiza to 3650m altitude in Uyuni |
 |
| Up through the hills on 8 hours of bumpy dirt roads, getting dizzy and nauseated... |
 |
| This was a bus stop. People actually live in the middle of nowhere... |
 |
| Rural cemetery |
 |
| Finally we arrive in Uyuni! |
 |
| The pretty interior of my hostel |
 |
| Snow in Uyuni! |
 |
| The tv room in the hostel (complete with Salar salt floor!) |
Starting the 1 day tour:
 |
| Go Kanoo tours! We got one of the good jeeps! |
 |
| Our driver Wilson didnt want to lose us! |
 |
| The tour started with a mandatory visit to the train cemetery... |
 |
| No OSH in Bolivia! |
 |
| A herd of llama! And a baby llama that had to be carried by the llama-herder! |
 |
| Salt 'museum'... |
 |
| Which was a 'museum' of llama sculptures... and also crafts... |
The Salar!
Sorry about the wierd colours - it was just too white!
 |
| Theres a volcano somewhere under the salar! This water is bubbling up but still cold |
 |
| The hotel made of salt |
 |
| Close up of the hotels salt bricks |
 |
| We're pretty sure this was llama steak |
