Hello, Sarah again. Just a quick one to inform you that we are alive and made it safe and well out of the mines today and have arrived in Uyuni. This is the town from which we will set out in 4 wheel drives tomorrow to see the much anticipated salt flats. Day 30 Before heading to the mines today we first had to stop off along the way to get all our gear. Hilariously enough we had to walk through a butchers shop to what appeared to be someones back yard to cl...

Sarah continued... Day 17 As you can imagine, the morning after the night before was not overly pleasant but unfortunately we had a schedule to keep so by 8 am we were on the bus to Puno, a city in the South of Peru situated on the edge of the World´s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca. This was a pretty long ride, taking most of the day which it must be admitted was punctured by a few unpleasant incidents along the way. 1) We had to stop the bus and pull...
