We slept almost as soon as we got on the bus from Salta to Tucuman. Normally the bus guide shouts the name of the stops but this one didn't so it was lucky I woke up when I did other wise we'd have gone back to Mendoza. We got our bags and did a walk through the terminal to look for somewhere comfy to sit for 5 hours. We bumped into Anya. She'd been put on a different bus. This terminal is a posh one with shops and a casino. Lee did his amazing sitting up straigh...

I woke feeling much better. We took our time getting ready then went to explore salta town. This place is beautiful. It has a square surrounded by a cathedral, restaurants and shops. The little roads leading off the square are quaint. We needed to print off our bus tickets so we walked around the little streets. The first shop said it was 14 pesos to use the computer for 5 minutes and 1.50 pesos per print out. We knew this was expensive because we'd printed the t...

Cafayata today. Pick up was at 7am so we were up and waiting in the kitchen when the doorbell rang for us.

No guess work needed on what's happening next or ...

People were selling jewellery, popcorn, miniature pony rides, lama rides, people were kissing on benches like it was a competition to lick the other persons insides first. A whole road was covered in second hand book stalls. We walked past rundown looking buildings then...

We leave Mendoza today, well not until 8pm so we decided we were going to spend the day planning the rest of the trip. Bamba can't confirm our travel details until they know the hostels we're staying at so we decided to make the trip easier and whilst we have a free day we could book the hostel up to Rio. We were both reading through different reviews on 'hostel world' for each hostel. It is crazy what people write. 'Don't stay here the dog humped my leg' and ano...
