We only planned to stay a couple of days in Salta but found ourselves staying for a week. This was mainly down to the 'Prisamata' hostel that we stayed in. Run by Damien it feels more like a boutique hostel with cool music playing throughout the day and a local chef coming in to cook for your evening meals. It was also a great place to hand out with fellow travellers and an ideal place to hold Tim's birthday party. Salta itself was a fairly relaxed city wit...

We decided to stop at San Ignacio to split up a 24 hr bus ride. The Argentinian buses are great but neither of our derriere's fancied 24 hrs sat down. The small village offered a bit of peace and calm, it's main attraction being some of the best preserved Jesuit ruins in the whole of Argentina. The Jesuits came to South America and mixed with the local indigenous tribes in 1632. The mix of cultures including music, food and village life worked incredibly we...

Tim's brain nearly exploded a couple of times as he tried to cope with 'masculino y feminino' and 'estar y ser' the two verbs for 'to be'. Briony on the other hand d...

Firstly sorry it's taken so long to write this blog update. There's no excuse really and we'll try and do more regular updates in future. We'd like to say we've been rushed off our feet and haven't had any free time but in fact it's been the complete opposite. The next part of our adventure included volunteering at the Eco Yoga Park just outside of Buenos Aires. We both love Yoga and one of us loves gardening (guess who!!) so this was the perfect opportunit...
