Salar de Uyuni-first part

Hello hello
Me and Maya just came back from a 6 days trip in the Salar de Uyuni, also known as the salt desert. Basically it is an ex lake that has left a lot of beautiful salt formations. In the group there were also: Eyal, Jenny, Offer, Amir and Eddy. The first day was mostly driving down to South Bolivia. Then we had hot springs in the evening. In that evening the driver went to organize some stuff and didnt come back in the evening. A bit frightening. But came back the day after, apparently had some troubles with the papers for the car. The next day we went to the salt dessert and took some great photos. It is an amazaing landscape, everything is white but the mountains are black. 2 of the kids decided to take nude photos, so in the spur of the moment me and Maya also left the group and took some, (will NOT be published)
The third day we climed 1000 meters up to 5500 meters. On the way down MAya got breathing problems and we needed to go down very slowly. Then there was only 45 minutes left of light and we had a lot more to go. We were 3, so i sent Jenny down to alarm the people in the car ( fast walkers plus 2 who couldnt finish) and to tell them to put light on the car for us to see. Then me and Maya continued. Luckily i had watched very well the markings and was pretty sure of the way down, that is in daylight. But then there was darkness and we still werent down. I managed to keep my calm and thought okei, we will go down and from there we should see the light. So off we went, slowly cause it was slippery and after 30min in the dark i saw the light from the car, thank god cause it is COLD in 4500 meters. So we sere save.
Anyway i have to go so i will finish the story in about 2 days when i get to a computer again
Ciao darlings
