The Road To Uyuni

I keep waking up early, but then I don't go late to bed. But as I knew I would be spending the entire day in a bus, I went to have a decent breakfast (hostel breakfast is 2 pieces of bread) and brought Angela and James along. I ate...  A big ham and cheese omelet, a big sandwich and 2 huge pancakes. Angela and I then went to grab the bus to Uyuni. It was a 7 hour busride, and there wasn't much to do, so I finished Post-Captain (what a magnificentbook) and just waited around to arrive. During a 20 minute stop, I fell in conversation with the only other westerners, Declan and Judy from Ireland. When we got to Uyuni, I already had a reservation at a hostel, while Angela, Declan and Judy went to a different place.

I booked a 3D/2N tour to the Salar de Uyuni, and walked around town for a while. It is uglier than La Paz (no, really), but in a different way. It is just superbly bland, whereas La Paz is just something that looks like it is about to be torn down.

For dinner, I went to the famous Minuteman pizzeria (highlight of Uyuni), and had a wonderful spicy llama pizza (I am really beginning to like llama), with a diameter of 45 cm, and I of course finished it, but not before adding cinnamon on top of it. But once there, I found that Angela, Declan and Judy were also there, but even though they had already eaten, they stayed and talked while I ate, and even after I was done, we stayed at Minuteman and had a good time until it got late, and we all went back to our respective beds, for a good nights sleep before the trip to the salt desert.
