We set off on Friday for our 2 day drive to Bolivia. Stopped for lunch at a little mountain town called Purmamarca where they had a really colourful market. It was also the first time we had seen people who looked more native (from Andean mountain tribes) than the typical Argentineans. Had lunch and then pushed on, stopping at some mini salt flats (ironically called Saltinas Grandes) where we practised a few silly poses, in preparation for the big salt flats in B...

On Tuesday we set off on the drive to Salta via some pretty impressive scenery - quite Grand Canyon-like. We stopped at an amphitheatre and another canyon/gorge thing called the Devil's Throat which were created by wind and water erosion. It's hard to capture the scale on photos. There were a couple of little stalls there selling delicious sheep's cheese tortillas and llama salami which we bought - yum! Enroute we had a rather embarrassing situation with the b...

That's the 3rd in as many weeks!) which held us up but Michelle and I cheered ourselves up by doing the truck dance. We will have to video this as it's quite amusing. Actions to the tune of 'A little less Conversation', it involves various moves (while seated) such as pulling the horn, canoeing, I'm your Venus, swimming, turning the lightbulb, packing shelve...

Left Mendoza (definitely not enough time there and another place for the must come back list) and headed out towards Cordoba. We camped overnight in a tiny place called Merlo (no relation to Merlot!) where I found a kindred spirit red wine drinker in Sarah. We managed to polish off around 3 bottles between us and it was only a quiet night! Set off on another drive day on Thursday and finally arrived at an estancia called Los Posteros in Rio Ceballos. It's owned b...
