Pictures: Southwest Bolivia and Salt Flats

Aimey on the Uyuni Salt Flat.


Anna also on the salt flat. (This is a "classic" picture that all tourists do when they get here.)



Snoopy also took a a visit to the Salt Flat!



During our great game of Uno someone spilt a glass of wine. Well what do you do in a salt hotel when someone spills red wine? Grab some of the floor (made of sand-like salt) and see if that will work!



Breakfast at the salt hotel



The dining room. Chairs, tables and floor - all salt!


Outside the salt hotel in the morning. The bike was not made of salt.



Two Canadians, three Columbians and one Snoopy. Somewhere in Southern Bolivia.



Chilean flamingo in Bolivia.



More flamingos. Too busy eating to look up.


Aimey running to get to the truck as Roberto yells "Vamose!"


A Landrover crusing through the Bolivian desert.

Us at the Tree Rock - a rock that looks like a tree.....



Aimey and Lydia playing a game.



Turn your heads sideways and you'll see us trying to stay warm by the "furnace". If you're lucky, you might see a thermometer that says -15 degrees! (Okay, there was no thermometer but that's what the locals told us.)



Bundled up trying to stay warm. (Our neighbours had a hole in their window, so I guess we were the lucky ones.)


Sunrise at the geyers.




Two brave Canadians.




The change room after the thermal pool. Notice that not only is Aimey wearing her toque and sweater, but the chickens who didn't go in are entirely bundled up in the background.



This was the view as we sat in the hot pools.



I did it! (Now where is my towel? I'm freezing out here!)
