We jumped on the stray bus tour at 7am, found our seat for the next 18 days and the mingling began straight away. We picked the front seats because we liked being first off the bus for every stop or as some people might call us 'bus w***ers. What we have learnt on this trip we hate queuing. Every day consisted of playing boat, float, goat (like yellow reg and I spy) and New Zealand rocks (guessing if the next song was a kiwi artist) while we journeyed down from A...

The time has arrived for JC to journey home to Ireland via Santiago and Bogota and the original two travellers were continuing on for the 6 week adventure that was to be Argentina. The plan was lots of meat, wine, meat, wine and more of both! Our first stop was a quick pit stop in Salta after a long overnight bus.
