I suppose i should talk about the Bolivian trip some, huh? Well, the bus from La Paz in the north of bolivia to Uyuni in the southwest was interesting to say the least. From about 4 in the afternoon until about 6 in the morning, my insides were shaken enough to make numerous organ-shakes. I can only assume it was to ascertain the integrity of attachment of the abovementioned organs. No seriously it was incredible. Not only was the road not paved, but it must have also been super-pot-holed. I dont think anyone caught more than a snooze on that one. We got off the bus around 6 and immediately got assaulted by the usual slew of travel agencies (what a job!! to wake up in the wee hours to greet incoming buses... eeeek!!) which had to be wafted off (i was too tired to even try to say anything, i just took business cards and kept moving, saying 'un cafe primero' or something to that effect). Having heard that there was an open cafe around the corner (nothing opens that early normally) we chugged over there, dumped our packs..... and nothing happened. I mean people at the table next to us got food and all. Although I dont know how long it took for them to get it. In the end we ended up spending about 2 hours in that establishment. Of which at least an hour was waiting for the guy to bring us a menu and take our order. No the place was not crowded. We were pretty much the only ones there. But whatever. bygones.
We ended up booking a three day tour that left later that morning, around 10:30, taking us to the salt flats, volcanos, colored lagunes, geysers and hot springs. I took loads upon loads of pictures and now need to burn them on a CD so that i can take more, but this place doesnt have a burner. Now that I started describing the trip i dont think i can much without the pictures! So i guess I will just have to wait until i post those up. sorry.
