Day 58 Oruro to Alti Plano Bushcamp

The weather this morning was not very bright and after an excellent buffet breakfast we went out to find that is was cold and also starting to rain!  A number of us were not fully prepared for this and luckily the luggage truck had not left so we hastily grabbed our cases and got some leggings etc. out before setting off.
After leaving town we were back onto the "flat" Alti Plano road again for about 147K.  Lunch was about 80K at a Thermal Baths which some people used, before we went on to the bushcamp.  There were a few dust storms on the way, but the scenery in my opinion was far from interesting.
Opposite the bushcamp was a sad memorial to a Berlgian woman who had died in a coach crash in 1999, the remains of the coach were also alonside the road along with two other memorials.
The bushcamp was as usual pitch tent, eat dinner and go to bed earlier than you would like because the temperature just plummets after dusk.
