Morada Hostel Cordoba

TRANSPORT: BA - Salta 19h cama class with LA Veloz Del Norte, 155 ARS, very good company ! HOSTEL: La Morada, dorm 12 ARS, clean but noisy, nothing special Arrived after a 19 hours trip in Salta. The trip was very nice. I wanted to go into a well known hostel to meet people that went to Bolivia, my next destination but choose at the end another hostel. Bad decision, the hostel is almost empty ! Anyway, Salta seems to be a really nice city. Itīs said to be a party place although I dinīt see th...

We then arr...

OK, so after the last long blog session, Tom and I met up with Matilda and Kathie and their friend Alyssa for a few drinks... which turned into a lot of drinks and a ring of fire... we then got thrown out of their hostel for being too noisy and hit the streets of Salta...
