Salt Flats

Highlights:
- We had a pretty good overnight bus, and got picked up and driven to the office which had sofas, heating and a bathroom while we waited for the tour to start
- There was only 5 of us in the group - one russian 60 year old man who didn't talk much, and a couple from Manchester and Ireland who were our age and we got on really well with which was nice
- Seeing the 'train cemetery' - abandoned trains and tracks which we walked around and climbed upon
- Learning about the salt process at a museum
- Taking perspective photos on the salt flats was a lot of fun
- Walking around an island in the middle of the salt flats with cacti and gorgeous scenery
- Watching the sunset on the salt flats
- Arriving at our salt hotel (walls, floor, beds made from salt blocks) and having hot chocolate followed by dinner
- Walking around an abandoned town from the mining times
- Walking around fields with llamas in and taking lots of pictures!
- Climbing up rocks in the rock fields and posing for photos
- Seeing flamingos at multiple lakes, including one that was red and stunning
- Driving to almost 5,000m and watching the geysers go off and the mud boil and bubble
- Seeing the milky way for the first time from our second night accommodation
- Watching the stars from the thermal pools at night and having some beers with the others in our group
- Seeing the 'Salvador Dali desert ' which looked so red and like another planet
- Finishing with a final lake with reflections in the water of the mountains

Lowlights:
- Very exhausted after the trip, and customs took a long time to go through!Okumaya devam et
