Another bus - more beautiful scenery

  Uyuni, Bolivia Tuesday, May 3, 2016

Again this is really only about the photos. Another day - another long bus ride. The only thing which made this one a little different was that as we were leaving the hostel in Potosi, a young girl came flying out after us asking us if we were going to the Uyuni and could she share our taxi to the bus station. A complete stranger and of course we said yes. Travelling is also about the people you meet on the way and helping other travellers out - especially girls travelling on their own and there are definitely more girls than boys making solo trips. This girl was Laura and she was from Holland. We would spend the whole bus journey with her but go our separate ways in Uyuni. The bus ride should have taken 5 hours but our driver was on a mission and was flying...! 3 1/2 hours later we arrived in Uyuni and before dark too. Nice one! We were thrown around all over the place as he took some of those bends a bit fast but in-between we got to see more of this beautiful country from the bus window. Wherever you are Laura, we hope you are having a fabulous time
