Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Salar de Uyuni tour - Day 2
Hola,
On day 2 we got the front seats, much nicer. Our first stop of the day was unexpected. Our guide swerved to miss something on the trail then got out and ran back to herd a bunch of baby birds off the road.
First scheduled stop was an abandoned village. It was abandoned 15 years ago because it is too cold here. The people moved to where we stayed the night before.
These funny creatures inhabit this area. They look a bit like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel. They are the size of a large cat or a small dog.
The first of many lagoons.
Some scenes along the way.
Llamas grazing in a river bed, this terrain is quite odd with its river banks and green river bed.
More scenery.
We stopped for lunch and a dip in the hot pool which smelt vaguely of sulphur. Love my white arms!
More scenery... are you sick of this yet?
Laguna Verde (Green Lake - they´re inventive these Bolivians!)
Action shots, note the smiles that´s cos we´re in the good seats!
One more shot of the scenery. Hey, there isn´t a lot to do while sitting in a 4x4 and bumping across the terrain.
Geysers. We didn´t stay here long as Erin almost blew away!
At our lodging for the second night there was a cat. Guess who wasn´t interested in the cat. Guess who the cat decided to visit. Despite being dissuaded several times.
Sunset on day 2.
Lisa: Hi guys, finally had an opportunity for a decent look at your blog - great stuff, although I've decided to print everything off on the last day of the working year and read it properly over the hols - with a world atlas close at hand to track your route! This week's Mortalk will include the photo of you both on horse back wild west style - great photo. Sounds like you're having a very 'full' time of it. All the best for your continuing travels, and the festive season. Will email talk in the New Year. Luv Lisa (12/11/06)
