Nice slow start to the morning made our way downstairs to have pancakes for breakfast (oh!!! they were so good!!!). Jumped into a few jeeps and started to make our way to the Salt Flats. Before we got to far we had stopped, as it was time to check out the Train Cemetery (Cementario de Trenes). Yep!!! its as it sounds a bunch of old steem trains that have been left out in the rain. Still pretty cool to see but not the high light of the day I was looking for.
Back in the jeep and head for the Salt Flats. A few intersting facts as we make our way. Did you know that Salar de Uyuni, is a dry lake of over 12,000 sq. kms, all made up of blinding white interlocking salt crystals. Its also Bolivia´s largest salt pan and when there is a little water on the falts, it reflects the Altiplano sky perfectly. Been told it can be pretty eerie when like this.
So finally after we stopped for lunch we got to drive out and take some funny photos. Not the best but hey we tried.
A number of scratches on legs and knees from lying on the salt to get the perfect shot, we now head home for a shower and another moster meal at the MinuteMan Pizza (This time I shared a pizza!!!).
Tomorrow a 12 hour drive ahead of us as we travel a cross the Altiplano.
