Uyuni - This is just another small town in Bolivia

This town has not much to offer but it is a small little town between civilization and the huge Atacama desert, people have to go somewhere once they cross this big desert and the salt flats, this town basically bridges between the desert and civilization. There were a few strange looking bronze sculpture in this town in the main square and on the edge of the main streets. I thought they were kinda cool. The place we went to eat dinner was very nice and cosy and food was great! I had a pizza and shared nachos with Steph, it was so much food and I was not ready to leave the table near that cosy fireplace, I could possibly sleep there. The hotel was new but the rooms were not that warm for some reason. We had warm shower, but shared bathrooms. Still the shoer after 3 days felt heavenly, probably the best shower so far! In the last 2 days, the temperature was below zero few times and at night it was between -10C and 5C.
Did I tell you that the only ATM in the town was out of money when we got there but eventually it was filled in and we got our money out of the ATM! We stayed in this town just one night and left for the next destination, Potosi in the morning of next day.
