By bye Bolivia, bye bye Coca Leaves, bye bye 80s music! :-)
I stayed one last night at the Pierdra Blanca Hostel which was very good as it was warm at night. Nights get really cold here and that was a great thing to have: heating in the rooms.
I had a wonderful 3 day trip from Uyuni in Bolivia through the Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The beginning and some things were (typically for South America) a bit chaotic, but in the end it was beautiful! Although the last night, or more the last morning, was really really cold at almost 5000 masl.
The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat and you can cross it by Jeep and take loads of cool photos, once you start it's hard to stop. Now my clothes are full of salt from lying on the ground. On the 1st day our tyre burst but it was all OK, just a bit of waiting and more photo-taking.
At the moment I am in San Pedro de Atacama. Yesterday I went with Unai and Eneko from the Basque Country and Simone from Italy (3 of the guys that were on the Salar de Uyuni - Jeep with me) to stay at Hostal Rural and straight on a joint trip for sandboarding and the Moon Valley, ... but on our way to sandboarding our car got stuck in the sand and couldn't move anymore ... so we walked to the dune and went sandboarding but ... the car still stuck and the trip to see the sunset ant the Moon Valley wasn't happening. So, they offered us moneyback or a new trip, which Simone and I will do today.
Let's see what happens next :-)
