So what was it all about ???

Potosi - Uyuni
 
Llamas are a very common animal in Boliva but up until today We hadn't seen one. That changed, now it seems every corner you went round brought more llamas into view.
 
When we stopped for lunch we saw an old woman working the fields. You have to admire how hardy they are. I was much younger than her but I don't think I could have worked that hard in the field all day long.
 
When we reached Uyuni we stopped at a train graveyard on the out skirts. Allegedly, one of the trains here was bobbed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I have no evidence to prove this but we were assured it was true.
 
So, true or not, I can claim I have stood in the actual train bobbed by Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid and the Wild Bunch.
