Stage 11 Salar de Uyuni to Uyuni 35k flat

First we start off with a 7 k time trial from the salt hotel to the edge of the flats. Started off spinning fast but soon realized could not suck in enough air to keep it going so settled down but managed to keep an average of 30 31 and ended up in the middle of the field.
Then a short ride to out rest day at Uyuni. This tourist side of the lake looks terrible. Brown salt and earth. Dusty dirt roads and lots of 4wd and trucks. Corrugated roads.
Just before the town helped Tamsin with her puncture. A big nail through the tire. Tamsin a bright young woman with a degree in astrophysics and a doctorate but now into it.
Reached our hotel next to the Military base in town. Cleaned bike to get the salt off and set off to explore. Pleasant town square but rather touristy. E mails in the afternoon and shed a tear as Polly had to be put down.
Dinner that night lama meat in a kind of soup with two eggs on top. Then on to a bar to have a wake for poor Polly. Back at 12. The others managed to get invited to a wedding party on the way back.
I got the lama again as managed to pick the wrong tube of stuff and ended up putting tooth paste on my sore backside instead of nappy ras cream! Under the shower again quickly as would not recommend it it stings.
