Episode 32: The Uyuni Salt Flats

We've been plagued by altitude sickness (5,000 metres above sea level), endured the Bolivian "roads" whilst squashed into a 4x4, cringed at our driver's outrageously perverted sense of humour and ended each day snuggled up in all our clothes, dosed up on pain killers and sleeping pills and craving a shower, electricity (for more than 2 hours per day), pillows made out of more than paper and beds made out of something other than salt (no joke - we stayed in a salt "hotel" on our last night!)

Despite all this, we have had the most unbelievable four days crossing the Salt Flats of Bolivia (from Tupiza to Uyuni). Even with 7 hours to kill between arriving here and catching a bus to La Paz, it's near impossible to begin to describe to you everything we've seen. From flamingoes to geysers and llamas to snow-peaked mountains, no words can really do this trip justice...so we'll let the photos do the talking.
