Oruro to Salinas De Garci Mendoza
15-10-2010 The dangers of the Bolivian Altiplano. The main ones that I saw were: running into llamas or rheas, getting sand in your eyes, or shaking your bike apart on the bumpy roads. I guess the sign covers these and more.
16-10-2010 The typical Bolivian scenery near Lago Poopo: Dark brown mountains, dry brown soil, here with some salt as it is in the vicinity of the salt flats, and some very blue skies.
15-10-2010 The lamb kept in the back of the hostal in Pazna
16-10-2010 The train heading north from Argentina to Oruro
17-10-2010 The church in Quillacas
17-10-2010 The river in the dry season
17-10-2010 The new road. Nice to cycle on, no cars and fairly smooth
17-10-2010 Starting to get a little less smooth
17-10-2010 Damn bumpy by now
18-10-2010 Two rheas that I almost ran over on the road when looking at my rear wheel
17-10-2010 The meteor crater ouside Tambillo
17-10-2010 Whirlwind alley on the road between Huari and Salinas
The small whirlwinds could be seen, and occasionally experienced, all through the day.
17-10-2010 Bed is a straw stuffed fishmeal sack in a shed out the back of a house in Tambillo
18-10-2010 The light and colours approaching the Salar De Uyuni
18-10-2010 Sunset approaching Salinas De Garci Mendoza and the flat Salar De Uyuni in the distance
18-10-2010 Salinas De Garci Mendoza
After stopping for an hour to get a beached pick-up off a rock, I arrived in Salinas in the dark. Where I was staying is on the left and the main street to the centre is on the right.
