GGGGRRRRR. I m in my bed, covered by all I can
find that make me feel warmer. Its so cold that
I don t want to stand up. I know that from the cold
winter in Paris. But that s not the same. Close
to the window, Marta had a Pullover, and he just
get frozen to into the window. Incredible. Hot days,
cold nights. Well and Marta and Ralph (sorry guys)
but seems to had a boxing fight during the night.
They eyes look like Rocky after a box match. Maybie
because they sleep close to the cold wall.
But few minutes after they change they physionomie
back to human forms.
 We didn t get a showel this morning, not just because
they was no hot water or because the Banos just
smell very very bad, no just because they was no
showel. So we took a breakfast.
Outside this typicaly traditional looking bolivian
women gave some milk to a young lama. This makes
you realy feel in Bolivia. Bolivia is just so authentic.
 Then
we put our backpack on the top of the car and leave
this place the last (le meilleur pour la fin). Today
will be the day of the stones and day of animals.
First we get into this sandy landscape until we
rich an amount of stones just looking out of the
dunes. One of them is the wellknow Piedra Aboles
(stone tree). A lot of sharp stones 4 to 7 meters
tall.
Then we drive few kilometers away and get in a totaly
different landscapes. Some rocks with a rounded
shape scultured by the erosion. It sound strange
if I tell you that just coming there and looking
at this stones is just like an spiritus-orgasmus
! Strange humans ?#$??
I go up into this rocks and met a very interesting
guy about 400 old. If you don t believe me just
look out photo number 6 in the gallery. We spoke together a little beat
until something jump out from nowhere. Bunny? I
let my green friend allone, follow this jumpy animals
and try to get contact with him. Well that was not
very helpfull because of my bad spanish. But whatever,
this animals is called HHHH. A very cute animals
that you can approach until 2 meters. Then he just
jump away to a quiter place. Everybody try to get
the photo from this little animals. And we get them,
because this animals seems not to fear the humans.
They maybie allready assiociated humans with food-gaver.
Les animaux d atacama:
Vicuna
chichcuuu
zorro
Etc.
 We
continue the road, far away the mountains seems
to be violet polvered by some snow. Chung sleeps
again in the car. Incredible Chung !!! After few
minutes or hours I could say that anymore because
I lose the feeling of the time, we rich the last
lake. Another incredible impression ! This place
seems to be a painting. The sky is a perfect deep
blue, and here and there few coton clouds are floating
in the sky and swimming in the water. The border
of the lake is as white as the clouds. Far away
we can see the dust produced by the car that seems
to be so little (not bigger than a antz). Then we
break the silent of this quite nature and begunn
to make a human tower. Why that? Don t tell me.
Maybie a stupid ID of mine. Marta on my shoulder,
then Heink on our shoulder, aaaaiiie, his shoes
penatrate on our neck, but it doesn t matter we
have fun, finaly Marta get on the top of the 3 basis
pyramid. Could do that in Barcelona next time! This
team is great, everybody is ready to make a party
whenever, and wherever its possible and Augustino
our driver and guide don t care about this. He wait
and smile about us. Maybie he enjoy this strange
team. So I.
We continue our route in direction to a volcano,
but didn t reach the place. On the road two other
jeep are waiting. Augustino (the guide) ask something.
Then he go back to the second car. In the middle
of nowhere the car stays empty. The passager just
sit arround on the stone. Under the car a guy seem
to repair something. Augustino stop. He will help
this people who get a panne. We will eat here. So
we get out of the car and beginn to prepare the
food. Okay not we, the girls. I look at the tourist
on the stone and there who is sitting? Nathalie,
this french girl that I met in Bariloche. Incredible.
Thats traveling. You met people and lose them. And
later you will cross them again. They could have
make a totaly different way, but you will still
met them. But this car thim is realy amazing because
a panne in the middle of the desert is the baddest
that can happen. I mean nobody can just pull the
car, nobody can change the pieces of this 10 years
old car that drive in the baddest environment that
you can imagine. Nathalie tell me that the car allready
had a panne few hours ago, and know again but this
problem will definitly fix the car for few days
on the place.
We are lucky, we eat and then continue with our
10 years old driving car our route to a city. We
are in best form and now are singing some songs.
Everybody in the car should sing something from
this country. I tried but soon realised that I can
sing a song from a to z with all the lyrics. Arrrrg
have to learn one for the next time. Chung (who
s not sleeping) start to sing. He is great, his
voice is strong and the japanese lyrics are something
totaly crazy. I don t understand anything of course,
but enjoy with my friends the generosity of Chung.
He is a talented singer, 3 minutes long he sings,
without stopping, showing in front of him, unpertubated
he continue with the same strong voice than the
beginning. Then he stop and his serious face change
to a smile. The crowded (we 5) applause. The concert
was a succes. CHUNG you are the best singer. Respect.
The japanese discretion disappear during this moments.
The route continue, we pass a kind of frontier,
arrived in a desert town and met some lamas. They
are very close and each one has something from the
LAST EMPEROR CUSCO (disney film that you should
see...its so funny). We get out of the car and stay
close to them. One little babylama just come in
front of me, I try to get a picture but he hit my
camera. Well if you like to see a close up pic from
an LamaEyes then the photo is good. Then we make
our way to the second refuge.
As usual we are the last. Rosa tell us about the
good rooms and the hot showel. And in fact this
refuge is realy nice. We get big beds and clean
hot showel. The soup is exelent. The dinner is good,
chicken that is realy tasty and rice. Electricity
is until 10.00 after its over. I go in my bed, on
the window I can see the moon reflecting in the
salar de Uyuni that is close to us. Tomorow is the
last day tomorow is Uyuni. I close my eyes and fall
into a deep sleep...
