Uyuni - Tupiza

We decided to stay last night and do feck all and take a day off, this morning we had to rise at 6 am to catch a bus to Tupiza, not sure the logic of 6am as the journey's only 6 hours. Anyway we got up and it was feckin freezing, even the people in the bus office were saying 'Mucho Freo' (very cold).

After the first 2 hours of the journey we pulled into Atocha and the driver said we were stopping for 2 hours for more passengers! So why not leave at 8am instead? Anyway being Bolivia 2 hour quickly turned into 3, to be fair I was reading my book so it went by fairly quickly.

We arrived in Tupiza, found a nice little pizzeria (Almost the national dish of Bolivia!) and watched the Barcelona -v- Real Madrid game.

We've booked some horse riding for tomorrow. 3 Hours at a cost of 3 euro an hour! We'll ride through Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid Land, this is where they spent their days in Bolivia...and alot of Westerns were filmed in Bolivia.
