... for tea. Monty and I were so proud of ourselves and felt great. We all slept really well that night. <br><br>The following day was very quiet we were pretty sore so spent the day getting organised to leave the following day. We visited a steak house for dinner on our last night. Then back to the hostal for a game of cards. <br><br>Off back to Salta tomorrow only for one night. We will always have the 50km bike ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... sort out the car. Unless it was repaired and had a working temperature gauge, we weren't going to drive it any further. So we were cooking up various other plans, but the rental company got in touch with a local mechanic, we dropped off the car, and two hours later everything was sorted.<br><br>We spent the rest of the afternoon checking out the local sights. First up was a walk and rock scramble up a gorge to a series of ...

... spectacular as we drove through several valleys and gorges with different coloured rocks and dramatic views after every corner. <br><br> <br> <br>We arrived at 3pm and after a bite to eat, tried to visit some wineries - but they were all closed! Damn election. We thought they would be open as we knew that a guy from our hostel in Salta was on a tour of the wineries with a tour company from Salta - surely they wouldnt take a group of people on a 3 1/2 hour drive to ...

... The following day we got up early and hired a taxi to take us out to the Salinas Grandes, or Salt Flats. It´s like a giant area that has water underneath it and the salt rises to the surface of the ground. It goes on for mostly as far as the eye can see, which is incredible because the Salt Flats in Bolivia are supposed to be much more impressive. The best part of going there was taking pictures, because when you´re standing on it there is no depth perception ...

... had made his dive for land because his cross was slowly being eaten away by wood-loving insects. I could barely contain my s******s at the back of the bus as Monica told h** tale.<br><br>Finally 12 hours aft** we had begun, sleepy, close to wreching from the stinky, sickeningly intimate couple in the seats in front and ready for a long nights sleep, we arrived back in Salta. Congratulating ourselves on a birthday well celebrated, the three of us piled onto the 7E bue home. FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS TOM!!

We all set off on the bus at 9 that morning on the way to Cafayate, the weather and views were gorgeous on the way there but I must admit we slept for most of it! Arrived at a lush little hostel and set off for the afternoon on yes, u can guess, another wine tour. This time it was a walking tour though as the town is so small each Bodega is only about 2 mins from the next. Saw my first Llamas and ...

15.01.2009 Nach dem Freuhstueck um 8.30 Uhr machen wir uns auf den Weg. Wir fahren heute von Cachi nach Cafayate, das sind etwa 165 km ueber Schotterstrecken. Die ersten 2-3 Stunden sind relativ unspektakulaer, doch dann aendert sich die Landschaft. Nun erstreckt sich eine tolle Felslandschaft in alle Richtungen mit tollen Felsformationen und Farben. Nun geht es nur noch langsam voran, da wir ...

... peut pas cuisiner après 20h30. Elle me prétexte des arguments tout aussi stupides les uns que les autres: il n'y a soi-disant plus de bombonnes de gaz mais je lui prouve le contraire, le gaz est trop cher mais c'est pourtant bien compris dans le prix de la nuit d'hostel ou encore je vais salir la cuisine pour le petit déjeuner du lendemain matin etc. En contre-partie, elle me propose de participer au barbecue payant organisé par l'hostel! Je refuse puisque j ...

... was still closed, so we continued uphill and soon came across a dirt track leading 6 kms up to another winery. This one was supposed to have fantastic views over the valley, so off we set. <br><br>The track was hard going, because a) it was 2pm and bloody "scorchio" with very little shade, b) the track had a lot of loose sand on it, c) it also had a consant uphill ...
