Uyuni Tour Day 3, Jubica to Uyuni, Bolivia

The third and final day of our tour to Uyuni, we had until 10am to lie in, have breakfast and get ready. While waiting for Patrick and Alejandro (our punctual driver) we played frisby a bit with some of the local kids, who'd it seems had never seen anything like a frisby before! Then we set off. Before we knew it, we were in the middle of this 10,000 square kilometer expanse of salt, pure white, almost blinding in the sun.

Here we had plenty of opportunities to take trick shots, using Patrick's guitar as a prop.

I felt small in the middle of the salar, and colourful!

About half an hour driving over the flat white surface (there are no roads on the salar), miraculously we arrived at an island, Inca Huasi (home of the Inca), where the Inca and their llamas used to stop overnight before continuing on to their sacred volcano Licancabur, on the edge of the salar. The island is little more than a rocky outcrop, but is home to hundreds of giant cacti, good fun for erotic photos!

We had a picnic lunch on the salar, one of the most surreal locations at which I've had the pleasure of lunching.
