4WD Adventure to Uyuni - Bolivian Highlands

This adventure was amazing. There were six of us in a 4WD plus the driver who hadn't a word of English.  We were three Croatians, two English and me, one Irish.  We crossed the border into Bolivia. Immigration control was a shed. The bathroom was basically the rear side of an abandoned and rusted bus. This was as rustic as you can get. Did I mention, there were no roads? We were about to cover 1,000 kilometers with no roads. Sleeping arrangements were in a refuge the first night. The six of us shared one room. There were no showers. The toilet was shared with about 40 other people who were traveling with us in the other 4WD's. Rumor had it that it gets to -10 degrees at night. We were forewarned to bring sleeping bags and caps. We were 15,000 feet high. This was great!!!

The Bolivian high lands are one painting after another. Look for yourself!
