BOLIVIA - Atacama Desert






The Atacama Desert makes Australia's Nullarbor Plain look a bit like a tropical oasis. Its a harsh, desolate landscape with occasional outcrops of cacti in amongst rocks and dust.
The Bolivian border post was like something out of a western movie. Gnarled Alpaca meat hung on bent wire drying outside the doorway. Inside the dusty, dirty, dingy office sat a lone Bolivian guard in a uniform that hadn't seen Persil for many months.
