There doesn{t seem to be much to do in Uyuni, except wait until 10.30am when we go to the Salt flats for 3 days. Should be good, supposed to be excellent.

Two shops say {Internet{, but do not have internet access. This internet cafe has {broadband{ speeds that are slower than dial up. Awesome stuff.

So things are going pretty well. Bolivia has been interesting so far - La Paz, Sucre and Potosi. Uyuni (now) is just a staging town for the Salt flats, I think. Yesterday morning went to the Casa de Moneda (I think), which is were all the coins were pressed for quite a while. Was interesting to see how it used to be done. Were some good paintings there too. Scenery from Potosi to Uyuni was good. Road was not sealed, so it was a bit bouncy. A few of the corners on the mountain were a bit average (blind without guard rails and only one lane...). It took us a bit less than 6 and 1/2 hours (includes a half hour break), to travel something like 220km....

Ahh well, next few days should be good. I made a mistake when packing for this trip. I brought the day pack that comes along with my main pack, however, it{s a bit small - I should have brought one of my bigger day packs. (Just taking daypack to salt flats).

By the way, left brace equals apostrophy. Punctuation on this keyboard is all over the shop. Sometimes keyboards are ´´normal´´ keyboards, but with re-assigned punction, sometimes, keyboards are nonstandard with n with tilda, but sometimes other variations...

Should go. Next check will be in four days time back in La Paz.
