Rolled into sunny Salta after another 20 hours bus journey from BA...hopefully one of the last massive journeys for a while! It is a lovely little town with a pretty plaza, colonial churches and a white-washed convent...and it was perfect practice for getting used to altitude at a mere 1200 metres above sealevel! Took a cablecar trip up to the top of the mountain to check out the view and discovered it is a small world after all after randomly sharing a car back ...

Did a two day beginners course at Cerro Catedral - South America's biggest ski resort - starting on the really baby slopes and advancing to the green ones with both of us covered in bruises and feeling like elderly folk within 24 hours.

Had some more choripan listening to an old dude sing his heart out crooning old tango tunes! In the afternoon we checked out Evitas Muesum and took in some t...

So after nearly a month livin it up in Buenos Aires we now count ourselves as honorary portenos - people who live in BA!! And its scary how quickly we slipped back into our slack-arsed lives we were vegged into front of the sofa eating a chinese takeway within 6 hours of getting the keys!! Palermo is a really cool neighbourhood with tree lined cobbley streets and a huge park with lakes and stuff....plus it where all the uber trendy bars and restaurants are, so ju...
