Cool your jets!

I´ve been pretty busy taking awesome 12 hour bus rides lately, so it has been difficult to provide frequent updates. Regardless, the salt plains where really cool. I stayed overnight in the ¨salt hotel¨, which is much like the ice hotel in Iceland, but not as good and made almost entirely of salt. During the trip, we visited various lagoons (green, black and red) and saw some pink flamingos.

Since the salt plains are near the town of Uyuni, I had to take a terrible 10 hour bus ride back to La Paz. Once there I went to a suit shop and had a custom suit and overcoat made which turned out great. After that, I pretty much just bummed around town. In the evening, I went drinking with some people I met in Uyuni and left for Arequipa the next morning (hence the 12 hour bus ride). Since arriving in Arequipa, I haven´t done a whole lot. I went rafting and did a little biking while visiting a really cool monastery.

Tonight I leave for Nazca to go see the famous ¨Nazca lines¨(I booked a flight to go over them)followed by a visit to Ica where I´ll be trying to sandboard (like snowboarding but on sand) and going for a dune buggy ride!

Well, that pretty much wraps up my trip....how depressing.
