From Tupiza, I rode to Uyuni standing up on a bus FULL of Israelis (side note, one Israeli, great. a few Israeli`s still fun. a dozen Israeli`s...unbearable. The problem is, they don`t travel, they migrate in giant packs. another, entire blog should be dedicated to this topic).
I set up a three day tour, with plans to hop off half way through the third day, close to the border of Chile and cross over to Antofogasta. I rode with a cool Spaniard guy, a super nice Irish couple and three crazy Slovakian girls. Our "guide" didn`t like to talk, our cook had a crazy giggle and our Jeep "El Rayo Veloz" <> (dubbed sarcastically) had to be fixed every time we stopped. 15 minutes into the ride, we broke a spring. It was a blast. Santos (our guide) had only 3 cassette tapes, with about 8 songs each. One was a Worst Hits of the 80`s Mix, the others were "Nacional"...horrid Bolivian Music. It became the big joke with every other car we`d meet, we would try to get them to trade tapes.
The Salt Flats were truly amazing. I wish I could go back and stay like a week just taking crazy pictures.
