Hi All,
Just a short note to let a few folks know I am alive and well ;)
I have cycled the last 6 days...about 500km...the last 2 days on the Salar de Uniyi...a massive salt lake/desert that defies decsription...I´m still having a great time (although a bit burnt!)and my Spanish is improving because it has had to!:)
I had one wicked desert crossing 4 days ago to get to the Salar, of course I wamted to take the path less travelled...14 hours to to 140km...I did the last 2.5 hours in the dark, cold and wind...no map, broken headlamp...great AR training ;(
Last night I sleep on the Isla de Incahausi(sp) in the middle of the Salar and nearly got blown away....I was pretty freaked out...the cold, wind, feeling of isolation...everytime I moved my watch would light up and freak me out some more...I was quite the scardie cat!
I will update my blog with pics etc (they are amazing!) over the next6 24 hours or so....so far the web connection has been too slow :(
I am in a small town on the edge of the Salar called Uyuni about to go out for pizza and cervasa :)
I hope everybody is well!
Cheers and all the best,
Neal

Welcome back to "civilization"! (Civilization being defined as a place where you can buy a cold beer.)
Looking forward to story and pics. A.
Hi, So pleased to get your call. I almost freaked out when I saw the weather forcast for Uyuni....high wind and COLD. Not the best for biking!!! Nice to know that you are across the Salar and safe - look forward to the pics.
Pizza and beer sound like good medicine. Well Done. Cheers!!
