Le bout du monde

Today, we are in Bolivia.
Uyuni is the small town we arrived in this morning after an unexpectedly long 17hr bus transfer from La Paz. Actually the bus broke down twice, had to stop many times for unexplained reasons but we didnt get a chance to get a food stop...
Uyuni really looks like a farwest town (with the addition of tourists).

Tomorrow, we´ll start a 3 day jeep trip to the remote southwest of Bolivia, including the famous Salar de Uyuni. Weather should be ok now and I´m really hoping to snap special pictures. The salar is mostly under water at this time of year!
The altitude sickness doesnt affect us too much any more, but I´m having stomach problems as usual. A bit embarassed to write this on a public blog, but it´s always a part of my travels :-)
