On my way to the Salt Flats

---

Hi friends and family

No photos today because the computer is too slow. Not much to take photos of anyway on my 27 hr bus ride to Salta through a heavy rainstorm. Lts of thunder and lightening was fun. Of course the bus was delayed until 2 am but fortunately everything is still open here at that time. Another traveller already had a hostel booked and they managed to squeeze me in too.

About to head out to the bus station to find out how Im getting to Bolivia. Hopefully through San Pedro in Chile but there may be delays.

I visited Paraguay yesterday (well, before the bus ride, whatever day that was) and saw the largest hydroelectric dam in the world at Itaipu.
A really rushed day but I travelled across 4 borders to get there an back.

Well Ill try to take more photos and post them next time.
Take care, Richard

Fiona - Thanks for your advice. Im trying to fit in as much as possible but Ill probably have to come back for another trip to see all that Ive missed. Send me your e-mail address to rpjohns(at)hotmail.com and Ill ask you some questions and add you to the blog.
