Lots of salt

Monday 5th May

Hello from Tupiza. Arrived by Wari Wari train this morning from Uyuni where I took a 3 day jeep tour of the Salar and Reserva Edwardo Avoara (i.e. salt flats and altiplano volcanic landscapes).

Instead of me rambling on I'll let the photos do the talking. There was alot of salt:



which meant you could have fun making silly photos:













and some cactii:










and some lakes coloured by algae with sulphur, borax and other mineral deposits:








and rocks:










and flamingos:












There was also a band of youngsters weilding pan pipes, but I'll spare you that for now.
Off on a gee gee tomorrow... yee hah.
Chau for now.
