Uyuni Salt Flats

Finally arrived at the Salt Flats of Uyuni, Bolivia, after a four day tour taken from Tupiza. Stayed in a hostel made of Salt the night before. Team photo, below, includes our cook and driver, from Lippi tours. Recommended.



Obligatory jumping photo. Other humorous perspective shots were of course made (but exceptionally cliché).

Bariloche / Rio de la Plata

Mount Tronador, viewed from Bariloche on the Refugio Jakob to Italiano trail.








We sailed from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay, across the Rio de la Plata.




BA's smog problem in full view...



El Dueño, enjoying himself.



Los Amantes.



Gabriel, el Capitan. A man with a moustache, and very fond of shouting 'Rumbo, rumbo! Tenés que aprender!"



On the return leg.



Jamie, inches from death, in the act of waste disposal, subsequent to his failure to perform in the normal manner due to stage fright.
