The Uyuni salt flats are a truly beaut
Because of the great expanse of white, its possible to take some interesting perspective photos.
Day two began early with more butt shattering 4x4´ing to lakes with flamingoes, flamingoes with lakes, and lake flamingoes. The famous tree of rock. Our accomodation took a steep decline - we ended up in a mud hut, half burried by the constant desert gale. With no heating, no water and no mattresses we were advised the temp would plummet to -15 overnight. Oh and a 3:30am start.........
The early morning stars lived up to our expectations, but the temperature (thankfully) didn´t.
We headed to geysers (hot springs) where greg was the only one brave enough to walk over the frozen lake to take a dip in the hot springs. Tash on the otherhand decided to accidently fall in... thankfully the warm desert sun eventually sorted us both out.
After a breaky of cake and caramel sauce, we then headed towards the Bolivian-Chilean border and our next stop at San Pedro de Atacama.
