Salar de Uyuni !!! Finally cycling on the big salt lake !!
Today one of the high lights of the trip, cycling on the Salar de Uyuni. It is almost unreal, as far as you can see, salt, salt and more salt ... only tracks of cars on the salt, that you follow, because you have no idea where to go without a compass or GPS navigation. First we went to a small island in the middle, where we had lunch, it was 40 kilometers out of the ´coast´. After that we followed the truck to the salt hotel. The island, Isla Pescado, was nice, there were lots of old cacti, and when you are at the top of the island, you had a great view, 360 degrees of the Solar. Under the salt there is a liquid, that contains lots of Lithium, and they are busy finding out how to extract this from the liquid. Maybe in 10 years the salt plane is just a big Lithium factory, and the great wide open views are gone, would be sad, because it is a great experience to be there, and cycle in the middle of nothing but salt.
When we arived at the hotel, we had a nice dinner, sitting on salt chairs, tables and even the beds were made of salt. It was a great day, great experience, and something that many of us will never forget !!
Adios !!
