Got up early and went to the mint museum with Paul. They had an impressive art gallery in the museum, and it was interesting to realise that there was more than just coin making. They had a lot of impressionist art and also a document declaring the city a world heritage site. The actual mint museum threw up some interesting facts such as Potosi at one point made the majority of coins in the world, ironicaly Bolivia does not make any of its own coins anymore!!
The journey to Uyuni was on a public bus. The window next to Paul would not close until Irena gave it a good smash. It was then shut solid. The road soon materialised into a track and at one point became more like Formby sand dunes. Some parts were a bit hairy but not quite the death road - which I hope to do so later. When we arrived in Uyuni it was like arriving to another world rather similar to Mos Eisley Spaceport in Star Wars.
Paul, Julius, Sieman and I went for a wonder around the local market, where we managed to do a bit of bartering.
Pizza for tea where an American has a resteraunt. I am really struggling with what the thought process was. I think I will set up a Pizza resteraunt in the middle of nowhere where they dont eat Pizza. It was busy and cracking pizza so dont think I will go into that industry given my intial thoughts.
