July 18

More driving on the second day of our salt flat tour

Our driver Rollo spoke maybe once but at least he was secure

We arrived that night beside an acidic lake

Not where I'd chose to live myself but an interesting spot to wake

Sub zero temperatures made for a cosy night

We pushed the beds together to avoid the chilly bite

A spot of rum and 'would you rather' sent us off to sleep

My kind of lullaby, certainly preferable to counting sheep
