I got up and sauntered down to breakfast where I had coffee and melba toast. I walked around the city and visited the Belgrano Park. I bought my bus ticket to Rosario and bought a new bag as the one I bought in Puerto Iguazu burst too. I also bought a mate gourd which is the cup the Argentinians drink their bitter tea-like stuff called Yerba mate. I got on my bus and a 19yr old Rosarina started chatting to me. She was so friendly and asked me lots of questi...

I sauntered around the Santa Fe bus station around 5.30am looking for a hotel in the seedy budget hotel area. I eventually found Hotel Zapeleta and checked in. I fell asleep and woke up at 1am. I went for a walk around the city and couldn't understand why it was so deserted. However I realised Argentina play today and so everyone was in bars or their houses watching the game.

An Argentinian girl started chatting to us in Spanish, she was so friendly that despite our tired heads we managed to conjugate replies to her various questions. She followed us on to our bus and asked for our email addresses, that's when it got a little weird as we'd only chatted for 15 m...

I woke up at 4am as the English girl sitting next to me got off at Tupiza. However as the train rattled on towards the Argentinian border town of Villazon I drifted off again. I was startled by the train stopping near the border and then escorted to the executive lounge where I was given coffee and scrambled eggs. I got off the train feeling really tired and disorientated. I found Mark and two English girls called Natalie and Sarah. Natalie was 19 and a litt...
