Arrived in Uyuni yesterday evening after some 8h in the bus. The distance between Potosi and Uyuni is just some 150km but the road goes through the mountains, is mostly a dirt road, a long lunch break is made, then the bus breaks down, and also the bus driver likes to make long stops to talk to the bus drivers of buses coming from Uyuni.
Haven't seen much of Uyuni but there doesn't seem to be that much to see anyway. Yesterday checked into a cheap hotel (Palace) and then booked (for today) a 3-days/2-nights tour through the salar and the lagunas to San Pedro de Atacama (Chile). Took the company Colqa Tours which many other travellers recommeded. There will be 3-4 people in the same jeep in addition us. The tour will go through all the important places: the train cemetary, the salt hotel, Isla del Pescado, salt mines, geysers, volcanoes, flamingo lagoons, hot springs, until to the border of Chile where we get transported to San Pedro.
This morning got the Bolivian exit stamp (costs 21 Bs per person for some reason), and in 1h will start the journey. Probably won't be able to connect to the internet for the next 2 or 3 days.
