The Extreme Fun Pub, Uyuni, Bolivia

Alright so I had to mention this place even though I don't have many appropriate to all eyes photos to put up. While we were at the salt flats we stayed two nights in Uyuni. We had spotted the first day when we arrived a pub by the name of 'The Extreme Fun Pub. With a name like that you couldn't really ignore not going to it. So after the salt flats we decided to visit it for the night. The idea we discovered of the extreme fun pub was to have a go at some challenges which people from all over the world had attempted when visiting the pub. It became a pretty messy night. There were solo challenges and also challenges for pairs. After two of the other boys on the tour attempted the pair challenge the pressure went on me and Callum. After a fairly large amount of persuasion we decided to give the 10 shot challenge a go. It consisted of 10 brutal mixes of alcohol. For example one of the shots was a mug full of beer but it had 6 shot glasses connected to it around the outside so when you poured the mug all the shots intertwined in the beer, these included, vodka, rum, tequila, gin, and a couple of others. Luckily that was Callums half of the challenge. I had to take on the beer mug that was like a breast with beer and tequila in it as one of my shots. Everything was equally as brutal. One way to feel slightly ill and be instantly drunk. Here are the pictures.

Me and Callum preparing for the challenge. Pretty mixed emotions here. I believe my face pretty much says how I felt about it. We did alright though and completed the 10 shots in 54secs. Was no record breaker though with the record sitting around 36secs. The individual record was 33secs. In the background are all the times and nationalitys posted on the walls and ceiling of all the people who had attempted it previously. If anyone visits look out for names on the wall. It is a must see pub.

Great night out, and this wasn't the only challenge completed by members of our tour group. You could try and beat times in all sorts of events but that was by far the worse.
