Subject: Post: Seems like the altitude is actually starting to affect us, now we all have all the usual symptoms of altitude sickness. Headache, feeling like flu or hangover, feeling weak.. The altitude sickness is supposed to usually start 8-10 hours after ascending to high altitude, and this four kilometers is actually considered as "very high altitude".Before arriving here I didn't take altitude sickness that seriously, maybe did not realize that Uyuni is actually this high. Well, a new experience at least. The effect should wear off in a day or two, so probably in the evening we are already feeling better. Lake Titicaca will also be at almost four kilometers, so we will be staying up here for a while. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
