Bye bye La Paz - Hello Uyuni!


Yes with little sadness we left La Paz, after 2.5 days of shopping and good eating and resting and internet and pictures... (and still had so much to do there)...

A few words about traveling by night buses - its not so much fun. Yes it saves lots of time and even money (no need to pay for a hotel...) but... you dont reallty get to sleep and if you do, it is full of waking up moments. Oh well - we safely arrived to Uyuni today.

Tomorrow morning we are heading towards 3 days in the Salars de Uyuni, a very cold and beautiful desert, and by Friday we will reach Chile - San Pedro de Atacama.

We wil write more than, promised!

Did you take the local or the tourist bus? They tried to sell us the busses at the tourism agency; the 13-hour local bus seemed a totaly insane solution, and the 11-hour tourist bus was $25 pp which we knew wasn't worth it, even with the reclining seats, since we took a similar one from Cuzco to Puno which was as you said: not really that good of a sleep.

Luckily, there's the train.
