Uyuni

Uyuni is kind of a crappy city.  It was just a hub to go and visit the famous salt flats Bolivia.  So, that´s what I did.  I signed up for a tour which was pretty cool.  Te scenery was really different and well worth visiting.  I was impressed maybe more by the lakes with flamingos than the salt flats themselves, bu the lakes were weird colors and this is caused by the immense amount o sulfur in the ground, so it is sort o one in the same.  I was on the tour with an Australian couple, a Brazilian couple, and this older Italian guy.  It was a nice group an we really enjoyed ourselves despite kind of a crappy guide.  It was just a pleasant 3 days.

We got back to the town to try to head to Argentina, and found that because it was New Years Eve there were no buses, and we would have to spend the night in Uyuni.  I didn´t care, but the Australians were disappointed.  We had dinner, lit a firework, and went to bed before midnight. 

Te next day we got a bus at 6am and headed to the boarder. It was a terrible road, and was really uncomfortable.  It did´t hep that a Bolivian man was yelling at the tourists to get out of his country the whole time.  We finally made it and got another bus on the Argentinian side to Salta, where me and the Australian couple ended up after almost 36 hours of trying.  It looked like a nice city as we entered......
