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.

To celebrate his arrival we had to have some tacos and he enjoyed his first of hopefully many margaritas.
