Salar

BOLIVIA | Saturday, 13 January 2007 | Views [572]

After a shaky start (no hot water) we eat a decent breakfast (corn flakes!) and hit the road for Salar de Uyuni - the worlds highest and largest salt plain. We stop at a token crafts market on the way (as you always do here) and look around the worlds most rubbish museum (made of salt of course) - complete with stuffed armadillos and dead flamingos. Things pick up as we arrive at the salt plains. At this time of year they are under about 3 inches of water which results in a perfect mirror image of the sky - a totally surreal landscape. It feels as if you´re driving through the air. Good weather results in some great photos. We also take a look at the unexciting train cemetary. All in all an amazing day* rounded off with the best pizza in South America so far.

*except for some ignorant monkey-brain Australian telling Sonya to get out of his photo. Tosser!
