Cartoon scenery

I must admit that then when we were planning the trip Bolivia wasn´t one of our "must do" countries but we have had a fantastic time here and been really surprised at the scenery. The 2 journeys from Potosi to Uyuni and then from Uyuni to Tupiza have been breathtaking.
Around every corner are changes from flat prairie plains (even though we are still above 3000m) to deserts and snow capped mountains. At times I did expect to see Speedy Gonzales or Wile E Coyote with his acme dynamite but instead there were herds of allpacas (types of llamas) looking bemused at our intrusion into their countryside. On Saturday the narrow roads snaked along mountain passes and coaches coming the opposite way passed us as if they had metres to spare rather than the millimetres they actually had. I was still up top for this and thankfully was on the mountain side rather than the cliff face.

Enough - I´ll let the pics speak for themselves.
