Day 5 to 8 - San Pedro to Uyuni - Part 2

The next day was e´s bday! We saw some more lakes...











... including one covered in ice...



...and made friends with a crazy guy who was riding from the south of Chile all the way to Lima. We also saw more Flamingos and a real life active Volcano! We weren´t that close to it so it wasn´t that great but still pretty cool. The terrain was all volcanoey as well - volcanoey IS a word...





That night we stayed ina hotel made of salt and sang Happy Birthday to e in Spanish. The bricks were made of salt and there were salt crystals all over the floor - pretty freaky!










The next day we headed out to the worlds largest salt flat - the Salar de Uyuni. This was pretty special too. Flat, white, and going on as far as the eye could see. We stopped in the middle and hung out for some cool photos.










Then, we went to Cactus island - an Island in the salt flat full of 900 y.o cacti. Was mad. There was also a shrine to the Qutchuan diety ´Patchamama´ so we asked her to bless our future travels.









The tour ended later that day in the quaint town of Uyuni. After a yummy pizza and some internet time we got on the bus for a 12 hour journey to La Paz...

Suffice to say we were again thankful for the Cerepax...
