Bec, the white stuff and Bolivia









Bruno once urged Bec to just try "it" first and Tracy was very offended the first time she saw Bec do it, after preparing a lovely meal, but anyone who has ever been at the dinner table with my beloved will know she is addicted to the "white stuff". You also won´t be surprised that Bec loved our visit to the largest salt plain on the planet. The Uyuni salt flats are over 12,000 square kms and because there is no background as far as the eye can see you can take amusing photos and play with the perspective. As we were there during the rainy season there were a few inches of water on the salt layer (12m deep) and this added to the mystic so that when we first arrived you couldn´t see the horizon.

In the middle of the salt flats is a hotel made from salt, Bec thought this was such a good idea she wants us to build a home from salt when we come back...

We watched the sun go down for an amazing sunset as our batteries finally ran out on the camera.
