In a few hours we are going to get onto an 8 hour bus to the northernmost city in Argentina, called La Quiaca. Once we get there, hopefully on time at 8:30am, we will get our things and grab a taxi for a one kilometer ride to the Bolivian border. We must then walk to the gates and cross into the new country with our bags on our backs.
We think it's pretty cool.
Once we get into Bolivia, we need to find the train station immediately. If we can manage to get there with enough time to buy a ticket to Uyuni, we will get there on Monday night around midnight or so. If not, we have to wait in what may be South America's smallest town on the Bolivian border for two nights. UGH!
If we get to Uyuni as we hope on Monday night, the train ride is supposed to be kinda crapy after it gets dark, so for about half the 9 hour ride. All though, I would prefer a crappy train ride over losing two days in a city where there is nothing to do. Hopefully we will get to Uyuni, get to a hostel and get some sleep. Then we have to find a tour company to take us on the four day tour of the salt flats.
Cross your fingers and pray we wont get stuck for two days before getting to Uyuni!
