It was another early start for the highlight of our tour - Salar De Uyuni - the salt flats! We drove for miles through the flats which are the largest in the world at 12,000 km squared, which is absolutely massive. Vincent told us that often people get lost for days in the salt flats because compasses don't work there (due to mineral interaction) and they're so vast that unless you go with a guide who can decipher location due to the surrounding mountains then it's so easy to loose your bearings.

We arrived in the dark at a small island in the middle of the salt flats with hundreds and hundreds of huge cacti all over it. We climbed up to the peak, with difficulty as it was so hard to breath in the cold and high altitude, and watched the sunrise over the salt flats which was incredible as you can imagine. The flats go on for miles and miles and miles with nothing to see but the white salty floor and the horizon in the distance, cut off by the bluest sky! After the sunset we had breakfast on he flats and Liv and I looked so silly all wrapped up in blankets trying to keep warm. We may have been slightly unprepared for this temperature woops!

Back in the jeep we again drove for agree on the flats until we reached a great spot in the beaming sunshine to take some photos. Of course we all took the generic photos playing with foreground and background objects and had a lot of fun doing so; Liv and I had bought a toy llama which entertained us greatly. Our final stop was for lunch at a train cemetery which was really interesting. These were old coal trains that now lay rusty and in ruins in the middle of the desert - very cool. We had a delicious Bolivian lunch and hopped back into the jeep for he final stretch of our tour to Uyuni town. It was sad saying goodbye to David and Simon as we'd had such a fabulous time with them and shared so many unforgettable experiences. The tour was indescribably incredible.

In Uyuni town Liv and I booked a night bus to La Paz and spent the afternoon sitting in cafes, using their wifi and chatting. The night bus was even better than the previous one and was so luxury! Again fully reclining armchairs and they gave us blankets! It was very funny at the beginning as the drive was across unpaved roads (so basically dirt tracks) and we were sure the roof was going to come down on us de to all the rattling and clanging and trembling coming from above. Bolivia has really been a treat so far.
