2-11 盐湖-乌尤利Salt Flat – Uyuni

之前已经在Red Planet网上预订了3天两夜的行程，早上8:30到旅行社做check-in，得了一个坏消息，就是最近盐湖下雨太大，原订的盐湖日出日落星空和入住盐酒店都取消了，和旅行社争取了很久都没有办法再安排，昨晚和他们通讯时，都没有说改行程，如果早知道，昨晚就可以去其他旅行社问一下，最后是按照他们的新安排，第三天回程时，马上换车再出发去盐湖拍日落（补300美元）。

旅行社要求我们将两个行李合成一个，原因4驱车不够空间，我们还租了水鞋在盐湖使用。在旅行社中遇到两个上海来的女孩，她们是参加一日团。我们的团是3架车，每架车有6个人旅客，我们的车只有4个，另外两个是丹麦来的情侣。
