Sandboarding in the desert

16th of February

While having breakfast this morning we started talking to the couple that we met on the bus (Hazel and Norman) and they are going to Bolivia too, aswell as another couple, so we decided to team up with them ( You always get cheaper prices if your're a bigger group )

Clair, Paul, Isabell, Hazel, Norman & David

We all went together to this lovely little cafe, had some tea and coffee and planned some more about the tour.

The little town we're in is really nice, very touristy but very charming. I'd love to come back with some more money as i think he restaurants are quiet good. But for now, me and David has to live on pasta, rice, fruit and water.
Me, Hazel, Norman, David and another girl we met (Claire) decided to go sandboarding. Very expensive but we decide to go for it as you cannot really do it at home every day.
The drive was bumpy, but the landscape was absolutely amazing, it's like you're on the moon or something. The rocks look so funny, like something we've never seen!

Walking to the sand hills

Sandboarding while watching the sunset, can it get better?

Oh yeah, it was pretty hard walking up there everytime!

Claire, Hazel & Norm are getting ready!

Sandboarding was so much fun! The guide we had was a bit useless but we managed to stand up for a while and sandboard our way down the sand hill. It was a lot of work walking up that bloody sand hill, but once you're on your way down you forget how tired you were getting up. I of course, like everyone else fell a few times and stuffed our faces in the sand, i got very unlucky, as one time when i fell i forgot to close my mouth and my whole mouth was full of sand. But it was worth it!
Very tired when we came back, we still managed to cook a risotto and de-sand in the shower.
Another adventure is waiting for us tomorrow so we better catch up on some sleep.
(we met a lovely Italian girl called Alexandra in our room, so we stayed up talking for a while before actually falling to sleep.)

Night.
