Day 39: 8/8/12 So it was an American girl sharing the room. She got kicked out of her room cos there was a group coming- front think she was too happy about it. Only saw her for a few mins cos when I came back from dinner she was going out for dinner and drinks. She was only going to bed at 6am and I was up at 6:30. Had a day trip to quebrada de humahuaca today. Another long bus journey! After the guide told is what we would be doing for the day he told us to h...

Day 38: 7/8/12 Today I had a day trip to Cafayate. (I had booked that for tomorrow and a different one for today but the company must have decided to go the other way around or something- well see if someone turns up to collect me tomorrow!) I forgot to say yesterday that it was raining in the morning and the sky was really grey- it was very Irish weather! This morning was a bit foggy buy not raining! I was collected in a mini-bus which was good! Once again th...

Day 37: 6/8/12 So today I had a day trip to Cachi. I was picked up at 7am in a jeep and then we collected two others. I presumed I'd be with a bus full of people but it was jus the jeep.

The guide spoke Spanish and English but he didn't have too much to say either! Cachi is a little town outside Salta. In South America, saying som...

Day 36: 5/8/12 Completely slept in this morning. I obviously needed a lot of sleep after my night in the airport! Was talking to Shane last night too- he was in good form. On his way to a hurling match! Went into town and had an omelette for breakfast. I stated ages in the cafe because the Olympic tennis was on. The Argentinian lad got the bronze so there were a few cheers. I would have liked to have heard the British commentary on Andy Murray- Id say it would...

Day 35: 4/8/12 Only had about 2hours of dozing really last night- no proper sleep! So I'm wrecked! The place I had picked to sleep was actually the gate our flight was boarding at so that was handy! The flight was about 2 1/2 hours long to Buenos Aires. I slept through a lot of it though so it flew! Every flight gives drink and a snack so that passes the time too! I had to go through more immigration in buenos aires but no forms this time- a camera which I pre...
