Ok, so here is the second blog instalment to our visit to the Salta and Jujuy provinces. I hope you have been able to see both albums and the previous Salta blog. The tour bus came to pick us up bright and early and was on time..unheard of! We were still gulping down coffee. We were 2nd into the mini bus and rode around for another 20 mins collecting others until there was 8 in the group. We had an english speaking guide that switched to spanish when necessary f...

This guy was being tight and restr...

Howdy Folks, After the culture overload of BA, we hopped on a short bus, 11hrs to Mendoza. It lies Northwest of BA and incase you didn´t know, is world renowned for its wine!...we thought it worth a visit!
