I have to say that there is not much I can say about this day that varies with my comments of yesterday, more flat roads on which we luckily only had to do 99K before we reached Oruro. Quite a busy town and a pleasant hotel.
One good bit of news from the group, Martin was back on a bike today! His bike is wrecked but he borrowed Wilbert`s bike for the day and had a good day despite a few aches and pains from his accident with the Donkey just days ago! Needless to say the Donkey jokes have not stopped since we found out he had survived as well as he did!!
We will be bushcamping for the next few days so no reports until we are back in a hotel when I can report on what I hope will be one of the highlights of the trip. We cross the Salar de Uyuni, the large salt flats that Bolivia is famous for. 100K across white salt where we must seriously protect ourselves against the damaging rays of the sun. So I´ll let you know how we get on with that as soon as I can!

Hi Rob
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know you're not missing much here. It's rain, rain, oh and then some more rain! So not too many miles on the bike - I wonder what your year's total will be after all these days on the bike?
Keep healthy and safe

We don't use too much salt now - as you know - any chance of some black pepper! Enjoy the amazing salt scenery and the cactus. Good Luck and looking forward to the photos. Keep safe.xxxx

Sorry to hear about your bang on the head,won't make the obvious comment just remember to take more water with it next time otherwise your judgement may be impaired,as in 'how tall am I ?'The hillclimb was this weekend .The weather was terrible ,rain,rain and rain.Still 5 hardy souls had a go and it was won by Wayne Jackson ,however as it took less than 7 minutes it may not count as a hill by your standards!Keep well,Bob and Georgina
