Salt With Everything

12,000 sq km of pure salt, unbelievable. At times it seemed as though we were flying with the clear blue sky being reflected in the flooded salt plain. To keep us entertained the guide told stories of people who had been lost for 3 days, and of 5 Israeli´s who died when their vehicle broke down. Fifthten minutes later our 4WD jeep ground to a halt as the engine completely gave up !!

Not to worry cos Walter the driver was quickly under the bonnet sucking on various pipes and spitting out petrol as though it was water. Within half an hour we were on our way again stopping only at a small hotel made from salt before reaching Uyuni.
