3 flat tires later

Well Thursday was a travel day, we took the bus from La Paz to Oruro and then boarded a train to go to Uyuni. The train had great scenary, at one point we were driving through a lake with pink flamingo´s.

We spent a night in Uyuni in the coldest room we´ve been in so far. I guess Uyuni has a reputation for being cold. We went to Uyuni as this is where we do our 4x4 trip from in order to cross into Chile, but since it´s not until Tuesday we decided to take a 2 day trip to Potosi.

The bus to Potosi was an adventure, we had 3 flat tires on the trip and we only we´re able to get enough tires to make those changes by removing one of the rear tires, the rear tires are dual, and swapping it for the front tire after it blew for the 3rd time.

Luckily for us we we´re off at Potosi, most of the bus continued onto another town from there on the same bus. We wished them well.
