What better way to finish off our time in Bolivia with a trip to the famous salt plains. We had planned originally to go from Tupiza which everyone had recommended to us - and I believe still it is the better trip. However it was cheaper to go from Uyuni so in the end we went for the cheapscate option.
We still had a fab time though. Heading to Uyuni by public bus from Potosi took about four hours. We had been told Uyuni was a nothing town (a bit of a dump) and were not let down on arrival. Even though we had arrived late in the night we decided to get on a tour the next morning rather than stay in the town.
