Another 18hour bus ride and we arrived in Salta, which is in the North of Argentina almost in Bolivia. We got to our hostel and were really happy to find out that it was free to stay there and you only had to pay for food and drink, which was really cheap anyway. BONUS! That night we had some drinks and got to know some of the people staying there. Dre, who owns the hostel, is a massive English guy who loves American football so Ben was happy! Whilst we were he...

The bus ride into Mendoza was very comfortable even if the lady who served us our dinner on there bus didn't smile once in the whole 10 hours. First impressions are that it's nowhere near as hot in Mendoza as it was in BA. The hostel is nice where we are staying and we have met some friendly Israelis who are doing a similar route to us. The next day we went white water rafting, it being summer means that the water level is a bit lower but that means that the ra...

So, being on this side of town we went and explored the parks and green areas and visited the japanese gardens. We als...

Towards lunchtime the rain stopped and we went out to explore the town, which didn't take very long. The cobbled streets and old white houses were very pretty and the old lighthouse which is the ...

5 hours on the bus and we are in Punta Del Diablo, a really really remote town by the beach, not anything here but hammocks and the ocean and a few local shops and bars. So basically this is chill out time, stayed in a hammock for about 6 hours then went for a walk along the beach and to the shops then back to the hammock, this was a repeated cycle for about 3 days, on Sunday we ate our body weight in asado and watched American Football playoffs and sat around a...
