Potosi

South America Day 27

Travel to Potosi


It was cold again when we woke up in our hostel in the middle of nowhere. We endured a 4 hour drive to Uyuni where we grabbed our gear and got straight on a bus for the seemingly endless bus journey to Potosi.

4-1/2 hrs on the bumpy dusty bus landed us in Potosi. The road was rough so trying to sleep wasn't even an option. The dust wasn't helping either.
When we finally reached Potosi and settled into our room, the first thing on the agenda was a decent hot shower. It was the first hot shower in a number of days. We were filthy! Between the lack of facilities and the excessive amount of dust in the desert, it was hardly surprising.
We suddenly realized that Kerri left her vest on the bus. Somehow we managed to get it back with help from the folk at the hotel.
