Day 71: Here comes the sun

Up at 4am to watch my first 360-degree sunrise, on the salt plain. There was a shimmering red on the horizon in every direction.

Passed a memorial to 14 people killed two years ago when two jeeps collided on the salt flats. It´s a reminder that safety standards are not always applied here. A few hours later, another backpacker told me his jeep driver had turned up drunk.

The tour finished in the small town of Uyuni, which has a graveyard of disused locomotives. Hope that´s not my train to La Paz.

THINGS I DIDN´T KNOW BEFORE TODAY
1. Bolivian kids are the cutest (sorry China)
2. Harry Enfield´s Kevin and Perry Go Mad In Ibiza was quite big in Israel
