Local market, stayed for one day, but guess I will end up here again, as I missed the witches market...

Potosi
This is the former silver mine, now they only get tin and other very dangerous metals from it.

Potosi
Con FUSE d men:)

Potosi
Dynamite enhanced with ammoniumnitrate to procuce a more severe explosion, nice!

Potosi
BOOM! Ok I was a bit too late to catch it:(

Potosi
Miners at work, they will not get older then 50 as the chemicals in the mines are extremely toxic, I got a severe lung infection after visiting, nice!

Potosi
This guy worked here since he was 12, he was 38 but looked like 60. His job was to pulverize the ore. Each bag was about a 100 kilos and had to do this for a week, till he would go down again to fill bags and somebody else would take over his task. Not nice!

Potosi
So we went to the third level of the mines after we already lost some of our other visiting guests. I tell you I will never go into a mine again, I got extremely claustrofobic going back up, as the passageways where tiny. You had to crawl all the way up and everywehere there where holes where you could tumble to your death, nice:)

Uyuni
Salar de uyuni, one of the biggest if not the biggest salt planes in the world.

We took a 4wheel drive. At nights it was extremely cold when temperatures would drop till -15, cold!

In the middle of the salar was this island full of cactii, some more then 400 years old, cold!

Schitterende foto`s zeg! Wij in Frankrijk net een hittegolf achter de rug. Pffffff! Dan doe je ook niet veel meer, behalve in het zwembad liggen en koele drankjes drinken. Geniet ze verder. Bisous de nous et Tim.
