“We started our day heading west in the pitch black of the early morning towards the Uyuni Salt Flats. I literally couldn’t tell where we had ended up until the sun slowly set itself on the vast salty Salar and I realized, unmistakably, that we had arrived at the world’s largest salt flats. There was salt as far as the eye could see! We got about 30 minutes of low light with no shadows just as the sun began to rise and took advantage of the photo opportunity. Breakfast of cake and coffee was then served and I was most appreciative. Things just don’t work right for me before 6 am.”
