Not much to mention today other than getting a bus from Uyuni to potosi with Bo and Mitch meanwhile Pete and Nadia wet onward to Sucre.
We checked into a hotel that was average but with hot showers and wifi (although unbearably slow) for a reasonable price and went wondering around town to sort out the mine tour for tomorrow.
We were also told about a film that was based on the miners of this particular mine and city that had apparently won a bunch of awards. One of the other hostels in town was screening it for a small fee in the evening so we decided to go and watch it; it is called 'The Devil's Miner'.
This mountain and it's mine within has killed an estimated 8,000,000 people since it opened in the 1600's, and tomorrow Mitch and I are going to enter it - a scary thought.
