Salt Flats- Bolivia ( hope this is clear Sam)

From San Pedro, which was at 2,400m we crossed into Bolivia and went up to 4,900m in the space of a few hours. We were the lucky ones in the group and only got out of breath when we forgot the altitude and had to sprint up hills to find a nearest bush (a bathroom in Bolivia).

Gatorade- a horrific energy drink which was supposed to help altitude sickness. I think it made us feel worse than we would normally feel.

The scenery in Bolivia is amazing and it is fast become our favourite country in terms of beauty and amazingness. We were also pretty lucky as we were with an amazing group of people for our tour and we seemed to pick a good company, no breakdowns or drunken drivers for us! 'Cordillera' were really reliable and our guide Ruben was immense.

Our tour took us through Altipano Lagunas, Geysers, thermal springs, rock valleys which inspired Dali's painting and finally ended up at the Salt Flats. Matt had managed to time something well and we arrived as the Salt Flats had an inch or two of water on them which made them reflect everything, basically creating the largest mirror in the world. Cue ridiculous poses!

 Thermal Springs, good times!

The water is naturally red and the flamingos are pretty damn cool.
