The air is thin...



Day 2 on the altiplano. We loaded the car, and set off on another day of surreal landscapes, beautiful wildlife and spectacular scenery.
All of us had struggled to sleep throught the night, not only because of the extreme cold but also due to the altitude.
The second day was filled with expansive landscapes, 'daliesque' desert colours and more altiplano lagunas filled with flamingos.
We finished the day in a salt hotel on the edge of the Salar de Uyuni. Everything in the hotel was made of salt - walls, beds, tables & chairs. Even the floor crunched underfoot!
