Sorry, I’ve got a bit behind with the blog. We spend the rest of Sunday exploring downtown Uyuni - much more to it than first impressions. Monday was all about our trip to the salt flats. The largest and highest in the world. Dazing beauty beyond words.

Large cooking pot?

Loads of different fruit 

The main railway line. Now only freight from the mineral mines and quarries 

The train graveyard. Abandoned here after the introduction of diesel engines. These engines originally came from England and France

Our transport for the day 

A small part of the salt flats from the island where we had lunch 

Hundreds of cacti on this island. Some over 1000 years old 

Nearby dormant volcano 

Our small tour group 

Looks like ice but is solid salt - metres thick in places

Playing with photos 

Playing with perspective. Feeding Mrs C a local wine 

Amazing light gave great photo opportunities 

It got very windy but didn’t stop Mrs C enjoying wine and snacks

Silly photo of the tour group
