Hello everyone. Happy April. We have decided to give up trying to catch up on our blogs, and instead will try to work our way backwards writing about where we currently are, but also where we were a few weeks ago. The blogs will thus be a little out of order for a bit. Sorry for any confusion. Yesterday, we arrived around noon in the town of Iguazu after a 20 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires.

Hello! It is April 4th now, and we are in Tupiza, Bolivia... heading off on a 4 day tour of the salt flats tomorrow.

It is just after 8:00 am and we are sitting in the bus terminal, having arrived after an overnight bus from Santiago (we will explain that later).

No food poisoning lately, so things are definit...
