Iuni Bolivia

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

img_0161img_0157Rolled into Iuni in a cloud of dust this afternoon, yea it was heavy going from San Pedro. Had lunch on the moon yesterday, in the Lunar Valley stunning, went up to Ei Tatio geysers yesterday PM, they are up the road from San Pedro 5000m up in the Andes. they are best seen before sun rise so I spent the night up there in a hut, thankfully, it was minus 9 this morning. The geysers are stunning blowing large amounts of steam and water into the air surrounded by volcanoes. The mountain pass down is a nightmare, gravel road, Ihave been doing a lot that lately. The road here is all sand flats, salt flats corrigations, ruts from trucks and real dry. Iuni is a small dorp in the middle of the desert, lots of back packers and other travelers. Met up with some other guys on bikes all just travelling around. Move on tomorrow toward La Paz and lake Titicaca. All going well more later.
