7 - 9 October 2008: Argentina (a very brief visit!)





The Argentinian buses are great! Comfy seats, friendly staff and you get dinner (albeit a cheese and ham sandwich accompanied with a cheese and ham sandwich and then, you guessed it, a cheese and ham sandwich to follow - bizarre!) We arrived in Salta and were reunited with Rach. It was so great to see her again. Salta itself is a lovely city and seemed really safe and friendly (a welcome change from Paraguay!).

We went on a spectacular day trip `to the clouds`. We visited gorges, small mountain villages, ghost towns, craft markets, saw beautiful views of the 7 Colour Mountains (stunning!) and visited the Salinhas Grandes salt plains. It was an incredibly long day with a lot of sitting in the back of a mini bus but was definately worth it. Unfortunately we only spent a couple of days in Argentina but it`s definately somewhere I`d like to return to to see it properly.

Next stop Bolivia...
