Victory for holand

Tuesday, July 6th
The fabulous five arrived into Uyuni at 1:30am. We were all exhausted because none of us slept well on the freezing and bumpy bus. We slept in and had a lazy day. We walked around town for a short while. Uyuni is small and nothing special. It's mostly known for a jumping off point to see the salar de Uyuni (salt flats). We booked a 3 day adventurous tour to visit/hike/bike through the salt flats, volcanoes, geysers, and hot springs. I am so excited to see this type of environment that I've never been exposed to. 
The only other exciting thing we did today was watch the world cup. Holand played Uruguay today and was victorious 3-2. So my Dutch friends, Willem and Jos, were elated and wasted. After the game was over, a news crew came into the pub where we were watching the game and filmed them cheerin and celebrating their victory. Later that night we coincidentally happened to be sitting in front of a tele and saw them in black-and-white on the evening news. It was helarious! 
For dinner we ate at a pizza place that was owned by a Bostonian, called minuteman pizza, and the food was amazing! Tomorrow, the five of us and our two new friends from our hostel -  Veronique from Holand and Camille from France will join us on our 3 day Salar de Uyuni tour.
