Potosi to Uyuni

4th Feb
Today I went for a long walk to the edge of Potosi and then up a big hill that overlooks the city, tiring.

5th Feb
Today I got the bus to Uyuni.
This is a bit of a middle of nowhere place but is the starting point for tours of the local area. I booked on to a 4 day tour.

6th of feb.
After spending the morning running from tour group to tour group trying to make sure that I could go for 4 day instead of 3 which my agency tried to change me to I found a good group with space. There is me and 5 ausies and I am the one that speaks the best spanish, what a change.
So in the morning we went to the Salt flats.
At this time of year there is a thin layer of water covering this huge flat salt covered area, this makes for a spectacuraly reflected landscape and great photos.
In the afternoon we drove in a jeep to the south of the city.
We stayed the night in one of the really remote little towns.
