getting sick on standing posing normally so this is why your begining to see weirder photos
Just got back off a 3 day tour to see the salt plains which are pre historic dried up salt lakes. Its really weird it looks like snow but its all salt. The views from fish island where all the giant cactus grow are amazing.

Theres lots of lamas here...its the bolivian dish and quite chewy! we visited a train grave yard which was cool and had out dinner by a volcano and slept on beds made from salt blocks.

The 2nd day we went to the lagooners and they were stunning, there was a green one a white one a blue one and a red one all complete with flamengos! the colour of the water is stunning and backed by mountains and deserts its an amazing place to be. We saw an active volcano too steaming away.

The 3rd day we got up at 4.30 am to watch the sun rise then went to see the giyzers which are hot steam spouting out of the earth, really weird to see and really noicy like a loud boiling kettle and lots of bubbling mud.

We went to the hot springs after to get clean as not had
