Uyuni

After a long, much needed sleep I woke up around 9am feeling better but still nauseous and knackered.

We were in a Catch 22: Uyuni is at 3,700m so going lower should help us but that meant a bus journey which wasn't so appealing. Anna was feeling well enough to venture to the bus station to check times - it was due in an hour and had no toilet. We decided to stay put! After some salty crisps, I fell back asleep for another 3 hours.

We eventually dragged ourselves out to a nearby cafe to sit in the sun and have some chips - with salt and vinegar (huge bonus points to Bolivia for it's love of vinegar) and a burger for Anna. We tried several banks but still no luck with my cards :(

I'd read that Uyuni was a dump but we really liked it. It's a very small, backpackery place.

I bought an ice lolly, which was likely unwise due to it being freezing now the sun had set, but I sat shivering eating it in bed and was the nicest thing I'd had in days!! Jumped straight into the shower to warm up and spent the evening in bed catching up on my blog.

The tour was amazing and the scenery was absolutely beautiful but I wouldn't do it again! I think a day trip to the salt flats might have been better for me!Meer informatie
