Earths Flattest

Day: 377

day-377-0004.JPG 

Up early (aka the unholy time of pre-6am) to catch the sunrise over the Salar de Uyuni, the worlds flattest place. Our group made it out quicker than the other groups and proceeded to spend and hour and a half taking all kinds of assorted pictures in a land with no prespective

The day passed quicker than one would have thought and before we knew it we had driven all over the salar, visiting the cacti covered Isla Pescado (it supposedly looks like a fish, although I didnt see it), more random salar pictures, visits to where they harvest salt for export to Brazil, and a visit to a train graveyard, which grandpa would have throughly enjoyed.

The later afternoon passed, with a little time on the internet and finding how to make it south to the desert town of Tupiza, which turned out to be a 6am chicken bus loaded with people who havent showered in longer than me.

    Felicia jumps her way around the world!! Great pics!

    Bolivia looks amazing. It’s definitely on my list. Thanks for taking the time to share all of these photos… I can’t imagine the connection in the Bolivian desert is super speedy, right?… Safe travels, friends.
