Hey all, sorry it's been a while since we wrote but we've been in the sticks - and since these are Bolivian sticks, they've even more remote than you may expect. We visited the mines at Potosi - well desrving of their nickname of 'Hell (the miners even pay tribute to a kind of devil figure). We then spent 3 days in a jeep rattling across an enormous Salt Flat, and subsequent lagoons and geysers, complete with flamingos and sulfurous smells. We're back in Chile now but the net here is awful and overpriced. We should be back in Santiago by the weekend, we'll put up many photos and such then.
Oh yeah, and we're all still alive. It was touch and go there in the jeep for a while (my knees hurt so much), but it's all good.

We're so VERY glad you're all still alive! The salt flats and the Potosi mines sound amazing! Did you actually spend 3 days in a jeep sleeping overnight and all? Or were they just day trips?
Flamingos?! Do salt flats have "mirages" like the desert?
