![]() …the landscape along the route was beautiful! There were only a few tiny towns along the way, the biggest I guess had a population of less than on thousand. Easy to buy a ticket, bus was good, bus was half full, we only picked up a few more passengers along the way…but… Potosi Bus Terminal, the start of my journey to Uyuni – Bolivia On route from Potosi to Uyuni, the landscape is vast and beautiful – Bolivia Route from Potosi to Uyuni There isn’t anything else to say about getting from Potosi to Uyuni. I hate that I can be sceptical at times, and happy when my scepticism is proved wrong. After finding my bus operator I waited until my chariot arrived…to much relief my bus looked in perfect working order. Added to their state they were being packed overflowing with luggage. Seeing some of the buses the locals were using I would not mark them highly on the roadworthy front. I got my ticket through Potosi Bus Terminal did not inspire me with much confidence. Cost wise, its cheap at US$11.41 which includes taxes and fees. It takes anything from 3-4 hours dependent on weather etc. There are a few options to get to Uyuni, you can even fly from La Paz and Sucre I believe. My bus was leaving at 9:30 and an early walk didn’t tickly my motivation. I say this because I took the easy way to get from Hostal Patrimonio to the Potosi Bus Terminal…a taxi. Nomad of nowhere full#One nights’ good sleep helps, it isn’t a sign of a full recovery. What doesn’t fit into the blog I’ll add to my Batnomad Facebook page. Maybe not this post, but the next two will have loads of photos. I’m trying to give the visuals the time and space they deserve. You may be thinking I’m trying to drag things out, I’m not. Though I was only in Uyuni for 3 nights (2.5 full days) I’m thinking of breaking my time up into three blog posts. The vast space and sunsets like I have never seen before. This time it is more the visuals Salar de Uyuni offers. Uyuni on the other hand is slightly different. It is to do these places the justice they deserve using my unprofessional grasp of my own language. This has happened before, when writing about Machu Picchu or Luxor & Karnak, other places too. A lingering dry cough coming and going in fits every now and then but my last night in Potosi it only woke me up once.Īs much as I was looking forward to revisiting my time in Uyuni, I am a little cautious, even a little nervous about doing so. I had started to feel a little better, my energy levels were picking up. Uyuni was the reason I left La Paz my visits to Sucre and Potosi merely steppingstones on route to see Sala de Uyuni, the Uyuni Slat Flat. It had taken me longer than I had wanted and anticipated so I was glad my destination was within grasping reach. She wields throwing knives and carries playing cards, and seems to be surrounded in strange magic flames or lights.Finally Uyuni was around the corner…albeit a 200km corner ?. The Governor of the South appears to be a woman in a small dress. He also appears to have mechanical limbs with clawed fingers, and a possibly mechanical face. The Governor of the North appears short in stature with a cowboy hat and a large bag or backpack. They are always shown with a moon insignia behind them, which is also on their emblem. They appear to wear a long trench coat, wide-brimmed hat, goggles, and wield duel handguns. The Governor of the East is an enigmatic figure. As a minotaur, he possesses incredible strength and enjoys nothing more than killing and violence, and will only interest himself with activities with high body counts. He was the first one to be appointed, and served under El Rey while he was still a human. Toro is the Governor of the West and currently the only named governor. Sometime later and over the next 100 years, El Rey learned of the magic Nomad, and made him the number one most wanted fugitive in the land, not stopping until he claims his prize. Toro became the governor of the west, and the other three went to claim the lands to the north, south, and east, with him stationing his kingdom in the center of Nowhere, thus creating the brutal monarchy of Nowhere. They swore allegiance to him, and he appointed them as his governors. He proceeded to burn dozens of villages to the ground and claim all of the lands in the west, setting up his capital: the Killosseum.Īround this time, El Rey assembled three more of the remaining magic users in the land. Toro was sent out by El Rey to slaughter the protesting citizens of Nowhere. When the people rose up to protest and riot against their corrupt king, El Rey transformed one of his guards into the minotaur Toro. This led to him becoming a tyrannical, violent, and cruel monarch that ruled over Nowhere with an iron fist. El Rey was once a benevolent and honorable ruler until his mind was taken over by his magical crown. ![]()
