Day 11 - Transit day. Arrival in Salta Today was all about travel. We flew from El Calafate to Buenos Aires, had just enough time to spray ourselves with the latest Davidoff and for Mia to sample the hand creams and then we got on another plane to Salta.The highlight for Brendan today was taxiing on the runway adjacent to the main motorway when all the South American Presidents were given seriously heavy escorts into the airport to their waiting fleet of country...

We saw it, semi open with a li...

Day 3 - Buenos Aires - Budget day After a busy weekend introduction to BA, the first working day of the week was a welcomed change of pace for us both. Everyone was back at work and as we had a later start, by the time we got our act together it was rapidly approaching lunch time so the streets were full of suits and beautiful people ... we were able to blend in perfectly.
