Return to Uyuni
We´ve just returned to Uyuni after spending three days touring the Southern Altiplano (3 days travel, 2 nights accomodation and all meals included, cost $95US). The scenery was out of this world and every day seemed completely different from the last. On Sunday it was the endless white expanse of the Salar and the giant catus plants of Isla del Pascado. On Monday we visited an active volcano and three lagunas and entered the red desert landscape that most people associate with Bolivia. Today the geothermic pools and erradic rock formations we visited made it feel like we´d travelled to Mars.
There were seven of us in the landrover - Max and Viviana from Italy, Jess and Jane from Britain, Baasje and I, and our driver, Juan, who had a very dry sense of humour and was a half decent cook to boot. We had a fine time experiencing the rustic charms of back country accomodiation in Bolivia - last night sleeping all together in one room in a pensione near Laguna Colarado without heat and only very basic toilet facilities was particarly special.
Our overnight bus back to La Paz will be leaving in a few minutes, so I´ve got to wrap it up here. I´ll post pics once we reach the city - after I take a long hot shower. Ciao for now!
