Just a short one today. Am leaving for the Salar via 10-hour bus tonight at 9pm, which will arrive at 7am tomorrow morning. Hope to sign up for a tour right away so I can start the four-day jeep journey across the salt flats and various lakes. I plan to end the tour in San Pedro Atacama of Chile, which is couple hours from the Bolivian border. San Pedro is a desert-town which is supposed to be really nice. After which I will slowly work my way up through Northern Chile back to Peru.

Had big fat meals today: scrambled eggs with ham and toast and orange juice at breakfast, then a tempura udon and green tea ice-cream for lunch, followed by a strawberry milkshake which was really yummy, but kinda knocked me over cuz´ too much dairy products can make one really tired in this altitude. Am just hoping that the slightest layer of additional fat can keep me warmer on my trip in the Salar! =) Also went to exchange my book, Coehlo´s ¨The Devil and Miss Prym¨ for one of Nora Roberts´ romance novel. (There are no bookstores here, only places where you can exchange books.) Will see how that goes... Did some last minute shopping plus a snack spree. Going to grab dinner before I leave now. I know, I´m all about food.. hehe. Probably won´t write until I´m in Chile! Hasta luego mis amigos!
