Uyuni

Arrived here today after an eight hour bus ride from Tupiza - all on dirt road as is the norm in Bolivia (only about 5% of Bolivian roads are sealed). Its known throughout Bolivia as a cold city (when the sun sets) and its freezing when I arrive (only 6:30pm). Its so cold that I straight away fork out 2 euros for a fleece jacket. It has a Pikes Peak crest on it - thought it was some high mound of rubbish at the back of a caravan site in Limerick initially.


But apparently Pike´s Peak is the second most climbed peak in the world after Mt Fuji.
Tomorrow I hope to meet up with Vinnie and Peter and take a four day Jeep tour of South West Bolivia. Its meant to be extremely cold down there so i´ll need to rent a sleeping bag and bring some warm clothes for the trip.
