I met up with Hannagh ( from the Salta excursion) in the bus station who was travelling with Alan ( Irish, from around the corner from my parents place). They are good compnay and mention they plan on doing the salt plances after a few drinks and chatting we plan on travelling together.

On this excursion we travel for 4 days with the 3 Ossie girls, lovely girls, all about 20/23, they have known each other for years ( they get ripped off by some agency and have to pay twice). I make a joke that Im like a neanthral man and one of them says ..well I only sit beside cute guys! Well that told me, I hope to God she doent think I was hitting on her!

the salt places..unreal..nothing like it in this world..

Alan pays my way for a fews days untill I can get to a cash point, great bloke. We pay an extra 10dlr each for an English Guide...he hardly speaks a word..I can speak moe spanish..now thats saying something, we are not impressed with him at all.

The excursion is in a jeep, there are a few jeeps travelling together. Its really good fun but I get bad alititude sickness, the first day Im fine but by day three im really ill. I try to keep it from the others but the fact Ive not spoken for most of the day would indocate Im feeling v unwell. I try to joke by saying ..do you know how many peolpe would like their ears to be given the holiday you guys are getting.

The salt plane are so amazing, you cant see the horizon its all white and you get to take some unreal pics. The trip across the planes in the jeep with the water gushing along the sides..it feelind like your in a boat..on the moon  it so diffiult to explain

I chat to them about the life coaching I did earlier this year and how much I got from it. I plan to contact Mauritis when I get back to let him know  where I am in my life. The trip ends in Uni.
