We pull into the Cordoba bus station at 9.30am, rather than the schedule 8am. Though this is not surprising given the number of almost hourly stops last night! By the time I woke up at 1am, we'd already made at least two stops and went on to make another two, at 2am and 3am. So the sleeping pill I took only worked for around 3 hours! From 1am to 4am I sat there, wide awake, wanting to be anywhere else but on a bus. At every stop in the next town's bus terminal, a...

We are up early, but manage to get another feed of cornflakes in before we head to the bus station for a 7am bus down to Cafayate. We've got a bit of extra time up our sleeves from only staying one night in San Pedro, and don't need to be in Buenos Aires until the 21st of September for our flights down to El Calafate. So, with that extra time we've decided to go and taste some wines in Cafayate. We arrive around 11am and find a dorm at Rusty K Hostel for 40 pes...

After our late arrival into Salta the night before we sleep in and have a very lazy morning in bed. Our hostel has free breakfast and for the first time in two months we eat cereal!

The rock hard bread was starting to wear on us a little. Our hostel also has some pretty speedy WIFI, so we upload our photos to the ...

...Well it's been a long time since our last blog on our amazing three day tour through the Salar in the south of Bolivia. But there's a reason why its been so long! We had to out fox family in New Zealand who were trying to guess when we'd be arriving home. So to put them off our trail, we told some porkies, including that we were going to stay longer than planned in Argentian, Brazil and Chile. So when we acutally only stayed one night in San Pedro, Chile we ob...

The following morning in San Pedro the shower refuses to budge from its icy temperature of iciness, so I refuse to get in. We stroll into town for some breakfast but the breakfast place is not open yet so we find some hot meat empanadas at a tiny store. We tuck into them and then line up for another two to eat cold on the bus for lunch. Even though we are paying 24,000 pesos for our bus seats, it was a little fuzzy as to whether we get food on our 12 hour ride. B...
