Today has been an unbelievably fun day, although the start could have been a little later. Waking up at half past five we silently but quickly rushed to get dressed an head to our pick up for death road. It was freezing and we were a little late but only to be told we were not getting the breakfast that we thought was included. Jumping into the van it was just us two on an unintentional private tour. A drive up to the starting point and we got to try our kit a...

Today started with a bump or two as we arrived back in La Paz. After checking into our new hostel we have been given our room as a dorm with two girls an a guy. After having hour long showers, which were needed with the amount of dust we had on us, we had the free breakfast of pancakes. Then the day turned into more of a day of rest and doing the domestic jobs. Taking laundry to be washed we sat and planned the next two weeks, where we are going and how we woul...

Arriving at the at base our interest was taken just as much by the small ...

Today started off with Abigail still not feeling 100% which was made worse as she trapped on the bus until gone 8. When finally in Uyuni we were greeted by a woman who took us straight to her office and checked us in to our tour. After having breakfast and a trip to the pharmacy for some more tablets we ended up buying a hat and some gloves where we had underestimated just how cold the salt lakes would be. At 10:30 our six passenger jeep arrived and with a Fren...
