South America

Smiley lady, Salty desert tours, new friends- Dan and emma from oxford, altitude sick Canadian guy, slightly weird Dutch girl. Tour guide- James....probs not his name!! First stop train graveyard...rusty Thomas. Sleepy salies!! Onto the salt flats. Lunch in salt hotel. Prawns climbing on landmarks. Perspective photo shoot. Pringle disco. Jump photo....face melter. Guide great...us not so much. Cactus island, beer half way up, good decision..... Big willy cactuses. Sun set. Awesome. Night drive to hotel. Salt hotel. Salty floors. Salty dinner. Salty bed. Sick of salt. Early start. Gemmell loving it. 1st stop "red lagoon" Ailsa it's not red, oh maybe blue lagoon then. FLAMINGOS. Cue 1000 pics. Beautiful birds. Smelly lagoons. Multiple stops. Lunch with a view. More lagoons, including the red one. Surprisingly it was red. Geysers- stinky and freezing. Cool none the less. Shorts not a great idea. Onwards to hotel. Canadian hasn't left car all day. Stumbles into room. HACE?? Probs needs to go down. Guide "we only take them down if their lips go blue". That sounds sensible...... Manage to convince ourselves he's probs alright. 2 bottles of wine cement that view. Outstanding hot spring under the stars. Truly spectacular. Beers and philosophising in the group. Sneaky fondling in the dark. 3 hours later- 5 prunes return to hotel. Early start. One more stop. More phenomenal scenery. Onto Chile. Tarmac as soon as we cross border. Bolivia you beauty goodbye!もっと詳しく
