So...
we left around 11 am, joined our group and headed to the Salars. We´ve been planning for this trip for so long and it really was great.
Lucky us, we had a great group. A sweet and calm and quiet couple from Holand, Arian and Desiree, a great funny guy from England, James (who would go with us to Chile), and a young punky awsome girl from Catalunia named Julia. And us. Oh, and
Ricardo the slow and quiet driver, with very good spirits.
The first day is all about the Salar. We go on that amazingly huge salt flats, and you think it will never end. There are some mountaing far away, but you have the illusion its a different world out there... The salt formations are amazing and beautiful, and in the middle of it all grows an island with HUGE TALL cactus plants which are there for thousands of years. 
The second day we saw many beautiful blue and white lagunes, and pink flamingos and even a little baby fox. Has lots of sun and bompy roads and cold outside and warm in the jeep... Oh and saw also the ¨Arbol de Piedra¨ - a trea made of stone... beautiful. At night we got to our basic camp, which at 4800 meters was very cold, right next to Laguna Colorada, that in the evening changes its color from red to blue.
honestly! in Michael eyes he saw it... ;-)
The last day we woke up at 5 in the morning, to try and see the sunrise over the 5000 meters high gaysers, but our jeep had another puncture in one wheel, and freezing our bones, we stood there outside the jeep and danced the Macarena... seruiously, anything to get warm! We then moved very fast through all the rest of the arranged stops of the day. Gaysers, quick breakfast, quick feet dipping in the thermal baths, quick ride to the Green Laguna, and then off to Chile!
All in all, we saw amazing views, and even my Michael (who got sick from too much cold) would say it was worth it!
