"Salt, salt everywhere" Youngtravellers's photos around Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

"Salt, salt everywhere" Youngtravellers's photos around Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia Video Clips. Duration : 2.63 Mins.


A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia by TravelPod blogger Youngtravellers titled "Salt, salt everywhere" Youngtravellers's travel blog entry: "We arrived in Uyuni at 1:30 am after what was possibly the bumpiest bus ride of all time. I slept and Travis ate a chocolate bar. Pretty much the moment we got off the bus Andrea, our friendly, predatory tour operator pounced on us with an offer for the three day, two night trip out onto the Uyuni Salar (salt flat). All we wanted to do was sleep. She said she would take us to a nice hotel with hot water, but first we had to go to her office. Another guy accompanied us and we all three listened to the sales pitch. When we bought the bus ticket we figured we would spend the day in Uyuni relaxing and shopping around for the best tour option. This was in part because we didn't think we could get a tour for the morning. Here was our opportunity. We debated whether or not to go for it (the price wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular, and Travis really doesn't like off-the-cuff decisions) - apparently I was really not helpful in the debate. I said it probably wasn't the wisest decision, but I didn't think it was a bad one. There were absolutely ridiculous testimonials by other tourists plastered all over the walls. Poetry, really? All the while the other guy laughed at us. We finally decided to go for it but told her we'd pay in the morning and we wanted to go to bed. So she took us across the ...

"Puebla, Mexico" Itsgotime's photos around Puebla, Mexico (central mexico and gulf coast)

"Puebla, Mexico" Itsgotime's photos around Puebla, Mexico (central mexico and gulf coast) Tube. Duration : 1.17 Mins.


Preview of Itsgotime's blog at TravelPod. Read the full blog here: www.travelpod.com This blog preview was made by TravelPod using the TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow creator. Entry from: Puebla, Mexico Entry Title: "Puebla, Mexico" Entry: "Puebla is home to two things we found to be very interesting. The first is Talavera tile. The second is it is the alleged birthplace of Mole Poblano, a sauce for meat made with chocolate, chili and a bunch of other stuff. Puebla is also the first city which we´ve visited with a "real" Zocalo. It was very nicely decorated for "Feliz Navidad." Sunday night, there were entertaining clowns and a Christmas play in the Zocalo. The cathedral is the entire southern block of the Zocalo. While the architecture was not as impressive as other cathedrals we have seen, it does house the highest bells in Mexico. The interior was also fairly amazing. Arriving in the afternoon and having completely blown the directions to the campground, we decided to try a "five star" hotel from the guide book, which has cheap rates on weekends. Good move on our part. Hotel Aristos was a nice change with actual hallways, a king size bed (very unusual in Mexico), no low door jams for me to crack my head against and a very nice bilingual staff. (Note: People in Mexico are not very tall. I have numerous bumps on my head to prove it.) After cleaning up from two nights of camping (we had camped nearby Teotihuacan) we hit the streets to see Puebla and find some Mole Poblano ...
